Welcome

​

I'm not writing this from the sidelines.

​

I'm Christine Bork, the Chief Development Officer at the American Academy of Pediatrics — leading a team charged with raising $27M for children's health.

​

I deal with the same pressure, budget assumptions, and pipeline problems you do.

​

I started Chief Fundraiser Weekly because the content I needed didn't exist. Not tactics. Not inspiration. The real stuff - how to structure a team that scales, how to manage up without losing the relationship, how to build systems that don't collapse when you're out of the office.

​

Who It's For

​

You're leading a $10M–$25M fundraising operation. You've figured out how to raise money. Now you're trying to build something that doesn't depend entirely on you.

​

You want peer-level thinking. Not a consultant selling you a framework. Not a vendor pitching a platform. Just one experienced practitioner sharing what's actually working — and what isn't.

​

This is written for Chief Fundraisers who are already in the seat.

​

What You'll Get

​

We grew from $16M to $27M without adding a single frontline fundraiser. The systems that made that possible — I write about them every week.

​

One brief. Every Sunday. Five minutes. Real decisions. Nothing I haven't tested myself.
