Catholic Fundraiser

Brice was born and raised Catholic. After enjoying a successful career in technology consulting with Accenture and PriceWaterhouseCoopers in cities across the United States (Dallas, San Francisco, Paris, Abu Dhabi, and London) around the world, he left it to help his Catholic diocese in London, England with a fundraising campaign. The campaign went on to raise over $60 million, the largest sum ever raised for the diocese and in the United Kingdom.

Learning from professional fundraisers, he figured out the basics and then left the diocese to focus on what he loves most: building Catholic charities that change the culture, save lives, and save souls.

Brice currently lives in Texas and travels the world helping Catholics fundraise. This website is where he shares what he is doing and how he is raising funds for Catholic causes and missions. That way you can move more quickly with your next appeal.

Praise be to God; my family was prepared for these events.

With that said, assisting neighbors has been the silver lining during these trials.

Serving people reminds us why we are Catholic.

I am confident that helping people is why you launched your apostolate.

But when you fundraise, you naturally have to focus on your apostolate’s needs rather than your neighbor’s.

So, where is the balance between focusing on your needs (organizing fundraising campaigns to do MORE with your apostolate) and staying glued to your mission (serving others as Christ wants you)?

Here is my suggestion of where that balance should be:

The Basics of Fundraising

As you raise more funds, there's a point when you CANNOT forget the basics.

Engaging with your apostolate’s community can be easy when you are starting out. You have time for conversations with everyone (donors and non-donors) and replying to every email and message.

As your apostolate grows, though, it can become harder to “keep up” with everyone. You have to find new ways to be available and stay focused on the mission – without having to spend the entire day stuck in your email’s inbox! (maybe you are now?!)

It sounds counterintuitive, but I realized that as you raise more funds, there’s a point when you CANNOT forget the basics.

Here’s what I mean:
