Paul David Cwynar 630-453-4846 • paulcwynar@gmail.com • http://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcwynar A deeply grounded and interpersonally connected nonprofit and fundraising professional with an acute sense of individuals' and organizations' needs, and the ability to bring together diverse internal and external teams/resources and guide and motivate them to maximize fundraising and overall organizational performance. A highly skilled and experienced communicator with a talent for finding and delivering inspiring success stories that result in broader community awareness, increased donations and more motivated staff, seeking a position as an executive, development of programming director. Core Competencies Inspiring Communicator Compelling Writer Analytically Compassionate Leader Mission-driven Manager Motivating Team Builder Empathetic Community Collaborator Resourceful Fundraiser Financial Acuity Innovative Program Developer Professional Highlights Executive Leadership and Fundraising • Speaking as the transformational voice of successful clients, I interview scores of people and communicate their inspiring stories by composing and disseminating compelling appeals and grant proposals. At Berkeley Food & Housing Project, this resulted in a 36% increase in revenue over budget in my first fiscal year, an amount I sustained annually. • As a mission-driven manager, I hire, coach and motivate dozens of employees and volunteers into teams that successfully execute administrative and educational tasks. My forte is training and transitioning college interns and recent graduates into professionals prepared to teach volunteers how to serve the community. My success led to the University of California Cal Corps naming me Supervisor of the Year.
• I maximize fundraising by promoting planned giving and stock policies by consulting with brokers and attorneys, by resourcing major gifts from individuals, foundations and corporations through research and outreach, and by recruiting volunteers for special events that result in increased donations. • I can replicate the process where I initiated and completed a four-year $2M capital campaign by recruiting and motivating competent church members onto church council and finance committee. With input and financial support from parishioners, guidance from diocesan development staff, and pro bono professional services from community construction firms, we paid off the parish debt and updated the campus. • I increase nonprofits’ presence on TV, radio, print and social media by initiating conversations with media providers about issues directly affecting our community. • As an innovative program director, I can re-create a program like Incarceration to Independence, a wrap-around social service for incarcerated mothers, where I interviewed 50 incarcerated women and directly assisted 15 released prisoners navigate community services to reunite with their children. • As an empathetic community collaborator, I can develop programs similar to my senior ministries where I survey seniors’ needs and invite community leaders to educate seniors on fraud, Affordable Health Care Act, and end-of-life decisions. • I can motivate your staff in the way I provide spiritual care and education for thousands of individuals and families within a community regardless of religion.
