Hello There....

I'm Jason Leppin, the person behind RaiseWell Strategies.

At heart, I'm a people-connector and problem-solver who believes that great fundraising is really about building relationships that change lives - for donors, for organizations, and for the communities we serve.

For the past 16+ years, I've been privileged to lead fundraising teams, forge partnerships, and help nonprofits grow missions that matter. But beyond the professional titles and campaigns, here's a bit about the guy you're really working with. I'm a husband to an incredible educator who keeps our family grounded and growing. Together, we're raising two amazing daughters who inspire me daily to lead with purpose and optimism (and keep me on my toes).

When I'm not helping nonprofits raise well, you'll probably find me out on the golf course trying to convince myself that this will be the round I finally break through - spoiler: it rarely is, but that's half the fun. We share our home with Auggie, our spirited Wheaten Terrier, who thinks he's in charge (and, honestly, he might be).

I'm also a big kid at heart - there's nothing I love more than kicking back with my family for a Marvel movie marathon. Whether it's Iron Man's wit, Captain America's leadership, or Spider-Man's everyday-hero charm, I find something inspiring every time the credits roll.

If you're here, I'm guessing you care about doing good work that actually does good in the world. So do I. Let's talk about how we can build something extraordinary - together.

Guiding Philosophy: Relationship-Centered, Data-Driven Fundraising

At the heart of my approach is relationship-centered fundraising — building authentic connections between organizations and their supporters to foster long-term loyalty and sustained giving. While relationship-building is foundational, I understand that short-term engagements often require rapid impact without the luxury of extended cultivation periods.

To balance these needs, I integrate the following proven framework to drive results efficiently:

Discovery & Goal Alignment: Rapidly assess organizational strengths, donor landscape, and fundraising goals to identify immediate opportunities and longer-term priorities.
Strategy Development: Design a tailored, multi-channel fundraising plan that blends relationship management, targeted appeals, and infrastructure improvements — ensuring efforts are focused and measurable.
Implementation & Capacity Building: Execute key initiatives while equipping your team with tools, training, and processes to maintain momentum beyond the engagement.
Measurement & Optimization: Use data-driven dashboards and key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress, adjust tactics, and demonstrate impact in real time.
