The person behind the data

Alex Kauffman
10+years of nonprofit expertise
"I believe nonprofits thrive when they lead with authenticity, honesty, integrity, and passion β€” and when their data tells that story clearly."

I'm Alex Kauffman, a nonprofit consultant with over a decade of experience in fundraising strategy, database management, and donor relations. My career spans roles from music teacher to managing educational data for more than 500,000 constituents at Carnegie Hall.

I've built development departments from scratch for mission-driven organizations, guided teams through CRM migrations, and helped nonprofits of all sizes find the story inside their data β€” and act on it.

Outside of consulting, I'm a lifelong musician with 25 years of performance experience and 15 years as a piano teacher. That background shapes how I work: with patience, discipline, and a genuine love for the craft.
