Stop Chasing Money. Start Building a Fundraising System That Works.
Most nonprofit founders fail at fundraising, not because their mission isn’t powerful, but because they don’t have the right system or the right funders.
In the video below, I explain the 4 simple steps to transition from constant fundraising stress to consistently raising 6–7 figures.
How To Get Started
You don’t have to wait years to fix this. You can start raising money within days. I’ve created a straightforward process to assist you:
The One-On-One Fundraising Challenge ($997)
In one day, we’ll work together to:
- Identify your ideal funders and build your list
- Create an irresistible fundraising offer funders can't say no to.
- Create a step-by-step fundraising plan that transforms prospective funders into recurring donors.
- Build and equip your fundraising team.
- Launch your fundraising campaign
This is not theory; this is hands-on execution. By the end of the day, you’ll be set up, supported, and ready to raise money.
Take Action Now
Every day you wait, your organization continues to struggle, money is left on the table, and your confidence takes a hit.
But if you act now, you can transform your fundraising and start seeing results immediately.
Spaces for the Fundraising Challenge are limited because I can only work with a handful of nonprofits each month.
Don’t sit on this. Take action today, and let’s set up your fundraising system for success.

Rooney really knows his stuff. He has helped my board rethink how we fundraise and even changed how we value ourselves and our services. He provides quick and well-thought-out fundraising plans that are easy to follow, giving us the tools and confidence to implement. Highly recommend!
- Laura Anthony from Zero Waste San Diego
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Rooney to discuss my nonprofit organization, SwagAbility. My team was amazed at Rooney’s experience, and knowledge of the nonprofit “world.“ Rooney assessed the “inner workings“ of SwagAbility, and laid out a path of practical steps, needing implemented, in order to take us to the next level. His ability to listen, ask the right questions and accurately assess situations, with “years of experience,“ set him apart from other “thought leaders” in the nonprofit industry. Rooney is a valuable support resource for any nonprofit organization seeking direction. I highly recommend Rooney to anyone that is looking for advice, problem-solving, or those seeking to build a “functioning“ board that will do more than just attend meetings to offer advice. He is a “team first“ leader that will be highly valuable to any organization he invests time into.
- Stephen Wagstaff Founder/CEO SwagAbility Inc
Working with Rooney has inspired myself and my board members to continue going forward with the mission. Each member understands the overall mission and how they play a critical role in going forward. For much of the time as the Founder and Executive Director, I came to a point where I felt stuck. Rooney was able to strategically help Bless It Solutions map out a plan where each board member is able to take charge in their area of expertise. He was also able to get the board members engaged and ready to help make an impact in our community. We are all so grateful for the opportunity for the board retreat, which was much needed.
- MARTINA Jones, Bless It Solutions Inc., SC
We were unsure as to raising money in these modern times for our nonprofit organization focused on preventing veteran suicide through canine companionship. Rooney gave us valuable fundraising insight and created a simple and organized fundraising plan I and my team can follow to raise money for our mission. Many Blessings Rooney, we appreciate you.

I met Rooney Akpesiri a few months ago in a nonprofit group on Facebook. We linked up and his support and knowledge of fundraising opportunities for nonprofits as well as sponsorship opportunities is on another level. God sent him.

Rooney knows what works for nonprofit founders and leaders. With his knowledge and expertise you'll be in good hands."

I received the gift of knowledge today and my mind is blown. In all my years as a nonprofit professional l've never received a strategic plan overview the way I received it today. I spoke to a nonprofit strategist Mr Otobele Akpesiri or Roonie and he is amazing. God has truly given him the gift to serve nonprofits and I am grateful. Top 5 reasons you should have Roonie create a strategy for you: 1: you need a plan to raise funding 2: you need your community input to make your organization work 3: he creates a budget for each program and operating cost 4: it makes it easier to know what to post because you know what your year looks like 5: relationships are key to partnerships Now that you have the plug build those partnerships starting with Roonie.

I just had the opportunity to meet with Rooney and he has tools that will help us to have a stronger board that will be engaged. I am excited to start our journey with him.
Mildred Milligan, Parsons Circle Community Outreach, Inc
Rooney is our consultant at Community Thrive a nonprofit to help youth become independent. I waisted 6 months not knowing what I don't know before I hired him as a consultant. We accomplished in 4 months a board, a volunteer program currently staffed with 8 volunteers, a strategic plan for funding and too much to share. If you are on the fence, reach out to me. would be happy to tell you why you can't afford not to hire him.

I just want to give a very big shout out to Rooney Akpesiri as he's been incredible in helping me to literally structure everything together in 4 weeks. I was struggling to get focused as I have many spinning plates and so needed someone to come in and clear some space for me to get on track and become investment ready. My new direction for a sustainable business has been helped by this incredible man, who has played an instrumental role in helping me with Aunua Global.
Karina Murray, CEO, Aunua Global, Ireland
They say give credit where credit is due today I want to give a shout out to a professional strategic planner. When I met Rooney Akpesiri I did not know if I could trust him because we met on social media. Actually today I can say that it was Devine connection because I was praying for direction and the next steps for www.nashandfriends.org. My prayers were answered.This are his qualities. 1.Professional. 2.Dependable. 3.Intelligent. 4.Honest. 5.Humble. 6.Optimist. With his help and God's guidance, I know this organization is going far. God is going to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ever think or imagine!
Nash Mwas, Nash and Friends Hands of Compassion
His capacity to work with me through the very confusing and very difficult processes of starting a nonprofit organization has just been absolutely masterful in my opinion. His ability to interpret the vision and without negating vision bringing about practical ideas and solutions to access the core needs being identified is quite amazing and working with him has been a pleasure and I encourage anybody who may be interested in starting a nonprofit organization to realize whatever your vision is. If you need some help Rooney's clarity services are worth the investment of your time energy and labor so give it a shot.
Eugene Steele, APT, California
Rooney has helped our nonprofit go to the next level. He created our volunteer manual to provide guidance to our volunteer leaders & within that manual it explains their roles/expectations. I developed enormous respect for his dedication to excellence in the achievement of nonprofits and community engagement. I also became acutely aware of his great knowledge and professional skills as well as observed his work and determination to help others in his community. Doing anything less would not only be inconsistent with any professional diagnoses but more importantly, inconsistent with the person that he is.
Barrington Gibson, United Nonprofits Inc.
Rooney has a great personality and was very helpful in setting up my consulting business. He simplified the business start-up process, and with his help, I was able to put systems in place that will drive my business growth in the coming months. He is very professional and focuses on building relationships with his clients. I strongly recommend Akpesiri Otobele for his business start-up services.
