“[Dani] cemented their status as one of the best auctioneers in the fundraising business by securing a top 5 overall finish. Dani was singled out by the professional judges as having great floor presence and perhaps being the most well-rounded auctioneer in the competition, showing no weak points and receiving high marks in every aspect of the voting.”

Fundraising consultant by day and benefit auctioneer by night, Dani (they/them) bridges the gap between donor psychology and high-energy crowd work to create inclusive, energizing, and impactful experiences for all.

With more than a decade of experience leading nonprofits, they understand the importance of offering cost-effective solutions to drive impactful fundraising results. Dani offers unlimited consulting sessions with data-driven insights to drive revenue, elevate donor experiences and exceed client expectations.

For Dani, philanthropy is personal. As the only openly queer benefit auctioneer in the U.S., they bring an authentic, refreshing presence that inspires record-breaking generosity.

“The incredible energy, passion, and professionalism that Dani brought to our event made the evening truly unforgettable! Thanks in large part to their enthusiasm and skill, it was our most successful galas yet. Even more inspiring—we tripled last year’s paddle raise! Dani's ability to engage the crowd and inspire generosity was nothing short of amazing. They helped turn an evening of celebration into one of impact.”
