Jim Dempsey
Fundraising Mastermind
Chief Advisor
With over 39 years of experience in nonprofit development, Jim Dempsey has been instrumental in advancing the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru), one of the largest nonprofit organizations globally. As the Chief Development Officer, he has played a crucial role in the organization's expansion since its early days in the 1950s.
Under Jim's strategic leadership, he has successfully directed fundraising initiatives that have cumulatively raised over $1 billion. His current stewardship involves managing a robust effort that contributes to the $750 million revenue — a testament to his expertise in financial oversight and resource allocation.
Jim's role at Cru extends beyond fiscal management; he is at the helm of development operations across 75 national organizations in North America, South America, and Oceania. His comprehensive approach to fundraising encompasses all facets, from conceptualizing and leading over 2,500 vision dinners over 39 years to forging enduring donor relationships. He oversees all internal development training and counseling.
His dedication to Cru's mission has been a constant throughout his tenure, making him a key figure in the realm of global Christian ministry.

Jason Galicinski
Fundraising Mastermind
President
Jason Galicinski is a key figure in the Christian nonprofit sector, with a wealth of experience spanning over 20 years. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, he spent a decade in ministry within the Chicago area. It was there he identified the need for improved fundraising processes in these ministries. In response, in 2006, he founded Ministry Sync (now known as FundEasy), a software specifically designed to streamline fundraising events for nonprofits. This venture has achieved immense success, being embraced by thousands of ministries and helping to raise over $1 billion worldwide for the Kingdom.
In 2016, Jason responded to a personal call, establishing a ministry aimed at rescuing and educating street children in the slums of Zambia, Africa. He resides just outside of Nashville, TN, with his wife and their 10 children, continuing to make a significant impact through his innovative solutions and deep commitment to his faith.
In addition to mentoring nonprofit leaders, you can find Jason weekly on the Fundraising Masterminds Podcast.
