About Us
Sanford Advising is led by Isaac Sanford, an accomplished advancement director with extensive experience in nonprofit development and donor relations. He currently serves as Director of Development for the St. Paul Center in Steubenville, Ohio, where he oversees strategic donor engagement and high-level fundraising initiatives.
Isaac brings a proven track record of raising major gifts and orchestrating campaigns that drive financial growth and long-term sustainability. Through Sanford Advising, he leverages this expertise to provide other worthy nonprofits the same level of success.
It has been a true privilege to work with Isaac Sanford. His expertise in fundraising, willingness to dive into tangibles, and genuine commitment to the missions of his clients distinguish him as an exceptional leader in the field. Isaac brings a strategic, results-oriented mindset to every engagement, pairing clear, actionable guidance with a remarkable ability to communicate the steps and measures necessary to achieve ambitious goals. To put it simply, in less than one year's time, and with Isaac's help, we fundraised enough to purchase our new $3M campus and will begin final renovations in the next few months!
I highly recommend Sanford Advising to any organization seeking to maximize their philanthropic ROI while remaining faithful to their mission and moral principles. It is encouraging to know there are professionals like Isaac who bring both exceptional skill and deep integrity to the non-profit and Christian sectors.
