Raise Money Consistently, Without Begging or Burning Out
You’re not struggling because donors stopped giving. You’re struggling because no one ever showed you how fundraising really works.
Why Your Fundraising Isn’t Converting
Most nonprofits fail to raise money consistently because of one or more of these common roadblocks:
1. You haven’t created demand for your transformation
2. You may be speaking to the wrong audience
3. Your fundraising process doesn’t convert
4. Your messaging and offers don’t inspire giving
5. You lack a consistent fundraising schedule
Any one of these can stall your progress. But when you fix your strategy, process, offer, and messaging, everything changes.
Let’s Review & Relaunch Your Fundraising Strategy
In this one-on-one strategy call, we’ll uncover why your fundraising system isn’t delivering and rebuild it step by step so your donors give confidently and consistently.
Whether you already have a system or need one built from scratch, this session will give you clarity, structure, and a fundraising process that works.

I Know What It Feels Like to Struggle for Funding
When I launched my first nonprofit, I thought passion and hard work were enough.
They weren’t.
I self-funded, begged donors, and sent grant applications into the void while others grew with ease. Then I learned the truth, fundraising success depends on building the right system for your nonprofit. Once I did, everything changed.
Since then, I’ve trained hundreds of founders and EDs, worked as a fundraising consultant, and contributed to raising over $5M in unrestricted funding for nonprofits across the U.S.
And I can help you do the same.
Ready to Fix Your Funding Struggles?
You’ve already proven your mission matters. Now it’s time to secure the funding it deserves.
Book your Fundraising Strategy Review & Redevelopment Call ($297) today and let’s start building your path to consistent, predictable funding.
Working With Rooney
Slide 1 of 23
You'll enjoy working with Rooney. He's a very personable guy who is passionate about helping Nonprofits with their fundraising. Most Nonprofits fight this one thing more than any other...trying to keep the doors open with traditional, outdated, old fashioned fundraising methods. Ditch that losing approach and allow Rooney to get you on the way to success with his Double Impact Fundraising strategy
Chuck Harmon H6 Holdings LLC "NonProfit Funding"
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
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
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.
Natasha Harris, Alumni President, University of Pheonix
Rooney was amazing to work with. He was fast, efficient. Gave HBReads great program advice for corporate sponsorships and local fundraising ideas. I highly recommend him.

Reece Bester, Breakthrough Grants LLC
Mr Rooney did an outstanding job! The Board Leadership training gave me principles and resources to apply to recruiting board members and how to properly keep them engaged. I feel like I have the tools I need to be a great Board Leader and lead my team to executing plans we set out to reach. Thank you again for giving me structure for my Board of Directors
Devona Boone, Natalie's Place Transitional Housing
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.
Ally Dodoo, Founder, Help Us Give Back, Texas.
Rooney is very knowledgeable on nonprofit fundraising and board training strategies and systems. He is always willing to share helpful information and point you in the right direction.

Rooney really knows what he is doing. He is also a compassionate person. There are a lot of people in the field that he is in that are just there to take advantage of people. I believe that is not the case with Rooney.
- Sage Bailey, Connecting Through Rhythm, OK
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.

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.
Donna Kargel, Community Thrive, FL
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.
Faith Chambers, Florida
I highly recommend Rooney. Rooney recently provided Another Blessed Ministry (ABM) with an exceptionally detailed and strategic social media and promotional plan for our Riverwalk Rally event and our Founding Board recruitment efforts. The strategy was thorough, audience-specific, and immediately actionable, providing us with a clear roadmap for maximizing local engagement and donor outreach. Rooney demonstrated deep insight into how to leverage community platforms like Facebook to target specific groups—from RVA Families to Animal Lovers—and craft messages that achieve both fundraising and recruitment goals simultaneously. Rooney's expertise is a genuine asset to any nonprofit seeking to scale its community impact and operational effectiveness.
