Jonah is a nonprofit fundraising strategist, speaker, and two-time author of Date Your Donors and Magnetic Mission. As President of ALTRUICITY, he helps organizations clarify their priorities, attract new donors, deepen existing relationships, and build sustainable fundraising systems.

‍

Known for his practical, relationship-first approach, Jonah works alongside his clients as a true team member, not a prescriptive consultant. He brings more than two decades of fundraising experience to every engagement, with a particular focus on donor acquisition, major gifts, campaign strategy, and leadership development.

‍

At the heart of Jonah’s philosophy is a genuine appreciation for donors and a refusal to leave any stone unturned. His first book, Date Your Donors, explores how fundraisers can cultivate genuine relationships for long-lasting support. His newest book, Magnetic Mission, builds on that foundation by helping organizations move beyond generic fundraising pitches and create alignment around a clear, compelling mission.

‍

Jonah’s clients consistently appreciate his strategic clarity, direct but approachable coaching style, and ability to turn complex fundraising challenges into practical next steps.

‍

Outside of fundraising, Jonah enjoys cigars, wine, hard rock music, sci-fi, and cracking dad jokes that may or may not be as funny as he thinks they are. Jonah lives in Israel with his wife and four children and travels regularly to the United States for client work and speaking engagements.
