Founder of Inspire Philanthropy
Ed Wilson’s journey into fundraising began with a simple but powerful belief: when people are supported to reach their full potential, they change the world around them. That belief has guided his work across nonprofits, foundations, government agencies, and mission-driven organizations for more than two decades.
Ed understands that fundraising isn’t just about dollars—it’s about clarity, connection, and storytelling that moves people from apathy to action. Whether helping organizations articulate their mission, align their program and development goals, or turn underperforming events into transformational moments, Ed brings both strategy and heart to every engagement.
He’s helped nonprofits secure major gifts, elevate their messaging, and deepen relationships with donors, boards, and corporate partners. He’s also been behind the scenes of countless campaigns—rewriting cases for support, coaching development teams, and unlocking untapped potential across teams and audiences.
When you work with Inspire Philanthropy, you don’t just get a consultant, you get a thought partner who listens deeply, challenges respectfully, and brings energy, clarity, and integrity to every step of the process.
