“Making a difference in our client communities is the most satisfying part of the work I do. Plus, it’s just a whole lot of fun.”
Arty Allen offers NCDS clients over 15 years of fundraising experience. Initially a Project Director, then a member of the Project Operations Support Team at NCDS, Arty now contributes directly to the success of client projects through the role of Senior Vice President, Business Development. In this role, he not only develops new markets and new clients for NCDS but also facilitates the design of aggressive new programs for non-profit community organizations and plans and shapes the NCDS strategies for these campaigns. Arty has worked in communities of all sizes in all parts of the country directing successful projects that have raised $15 million for a variety of NCDS clients.
Foundation funding of Chamber and EDC initiatives is one of Arty’s area of expertise. Foundations grant $29 billion each year. Arty will help your organization tap into this source of funding.
Arty cites as his most memorable campaign the Partnership for a Greater Greenwood (South Carolina), a project with multiple constituencies where his campaign efforts resulted in achievement of 150% of goal, on time and under budget. As a result, over 1,800 Greenwood adults are now mentoring area youth in a program designed to bring all fourth graders to grade level performance within only four years.
Arty’s high energy, enthusiasm, and leadership skills are further displayed through his involvement in non-profit and other community organizations. He served on the Board of Directors of his Rotary Club, the Board of Advisors for a community bank, and was a charter member of the Citizens Advisory Committee to his hometown police department.
A twenty-five-year resident of Atlanta, Georgia, Arty is a father of three children and enjoys tennis, golf, and many outdoor activities. He has a BA in Math and an MBA from the University of Houston.
