Jason B. Zwang, CFRE is a results-oriented Major Gifts professional with over 15 years of experience working on the front lines of Major Gifts, building and managing teams, and helping lay leaders realize that ‘while fundraising isn’t easy, it’s definitely easier than you thought.’ Jason specializes in focused donor and portfolio management, as well as introduction of best practices and protocols, bridging the distance between organizations and their donors.

Jason’s fun-loving approach and deadpan sense of humor make working with him fun and approachable. He provides advice for dozens of Major Gifts shops throughout the United States and Israel, guiding the design, implementation, and cultivation of successful programs. Jason believes in elevating the donor relationship, resulting in a richer experience for both organizations and clients.

Jason lives in Grant Park, Atlanta with his wife, Liz, twin daughters, Sami and Sarah, and his old dog, Cassie. He loves traveling, loud music, and an inappropriate joke.
