William Laird Eddy, B.A., B.Th., M.Div., C.F.R.E.

President

William has been a fundraiser since 1993 and is an expert in database analytics and direct mail fundraising.

As the Director of Development for a homeless shelter in the nation’s capital William oversaw the creation of Major Gifts and Legacy Giving programs, and grew a direct mail program from a few hundred thousand dollars to over five million annually.

William believes that good fundraising is 50% relationship building and 50% research.  He created Gryphon Fundraising so that others could share in the advantages that come from knowing how to target key donors through the use of donor analytics.
