Jan 8, 2020

Norman Gildin has dedicated his career to fundraising for non-profit organizations. Working with groups of all sizes and levels of recognition, Gildin’s fundraising, which spans more than three decades, has raised over $92 million. His company, Strategic Fundraising Group (SFG), was established five years ago with the mission to provide help to non-profit organizations that don’t have the resources for fundraising efforts.

 
In the last few years, Gildin was presented an opportunity to work with American Friends of Migdal Ohr, an organization very close to his heart. There he strategically implemented a fundraising system that secured a 4.0 rating with Charity Navigator, an American independent charity watchdog organization that evaluates charitable organizations in the United States. During his three years at Migdal Ohr, Gildin successfully raised $17 million for the organization. Previously, during his tenure at OHEL Children’s Home & Family Services, his leadership resulted in more than $30 million raised toward the annual campaign.
