"Philip Capps brings an impressive reputation as a strategic and innovative leader in the nonprofit sector," said Trent Ricker, CEO of The Pursuant Group. "As the Senior Vice President of Sales, he is building an industry-leading team of business development professionals with considerable nonprofit marketing and fundraising expertise."

Following a distinguished 12-year commercial career with Dell Computer and AT&T Capital, Philip began his work in the nonprofit market by joining Internet fundraising start-up Convio. In addition to his achievements in business development, Capps was instrumental in the launch and evolution of Convio's industry leading consulting group and partner network. Prior to Pursuant, he continued his nonprofit career with Strategic Fundraising, as well as serving as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at MPower Systems and Kimbia.

Capps has spent the last 10 years leveraging technology, marketing and fundraising strategies, having worked in every segment across the nonprofit market. He has helped several leading organizations including the University of Texas, Shriners Hospitals for Children, United States Olympic Committee, Operation Smile and Habitat for Humanity.

"If nonprofits continue to do only what they have always done, the results will no longer be the same…but much lower.  We now live in a new normal.  Organizations must evaluate their entire fundraising operations in order to find and prioritize the greatest areas of return in both relationships and revenue.  Pursuant is the only agency that serves the full fundraising spectrum from social media to planned giving with such depth of experience and resources -- truly unique in the industry," said Capps.  

Philip Capps is a nonprofit co-founder and has been a supportive board member for several organizations. His commitment to redefining fundraising drives his passion for change in the nonprofit industry.  Capps studied social work and business at Hardin Simmons University and is an ePMT certified trainer and speaker, frequently presenting at industry conferences and events.
