About CharityJen

Nice to Meet You!

Welcome to the CharityJen network! I’m Jen Newmeyer CFRE, aka CharityJen, a digital fundraising strategist specializing in integrated campaigns and online engagement.

I work tirelessly to support nonprofit professionals as we weave through the daily challenges and delights of working in the charitable sector. Having worked in and with national and local organizations for over 20 years, I’m well aware of the issues we face on a regular basis. Many of these stories are documented in my book, “The Insider’s Guide to Online Fundraising: Finding Success When Surrounded by Skeptics.”

Additionally, I provide a number of resources through my CharityJen network including:

Helpful articles, ideas and advice on campaign strategy, donor stewardship, audience growth, and emerging digital technology
Downloadable resources such as free fundraising guides and lighthearted content like the Insider’s Guide Crossword, 43 Ideas for Quarantine, and Fundraising Fortunes
A monthly email packed with juicy tidbits and the latest digital fundraising news
Webinars, workshops and training sessions both virtual and in-person
Special events like the Frazzled Fundraiser’s Care Package Giveaway

My specialties include multi-channel (integrated) campaigns with a focus on digital engagement, acquisition and retention strategies, audience segmentation, project plans built on the growth funnel, strategic campaign planning and budget preparation, ambassador programs, and establishing partnerships for maximum success. With fierce determination and an abundance of creativity, I’ve been able to raise over $10 million in online revenue for nonprofit organizations while managing development budgets of over $25 million and leading teams through groundbreaking campaign projects.

My past experience includes a national nonprofit association management firm, a city arts organization, and a regional food bank, with volunteer work in homeless and housing, animal shelters, and youth development. I am currently the Director of Digital Fundraising Strategy for PBS and a newly appointed board member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals DC Chapter. I am also a Certified Fundraising Executive through CFRE International and a contributing writer for NonProfitPRO magazine.

As a passionate digital professional, I maintain a robust social media presence. You can connect with me on Instagram and LinkedIn. On Mastodon, you can find me on the mindly.social server or simply search for me at @charityjen@mindly.social. While I still have an account on Twitter, my activity is diminished.
