About

Darian Rodriguez Heyman is an accomplished fundraiser, social entrepreneur, and best-selling author. His life's work of “helping people help” started during his five-year tenure as Executive Director of Craigslist Foundation, where he launched their Nonprofit Boot Camp and grew it to the largest nonprofit gathering in history in only one year. That led to his two best-selling books, Nonprofit Management 101 (now in 2nd ed.) and Nonprofit Fundraising 101 (both published via Wiley & Sons), as well as his work as Editor-in-chief at Blue Avocado, the popular online magazine for nonprofits. Heyman since co-founded several other social impact conference series, including Social Media for Nonprofits, the world’s only conference series dedicated to social media for social good, and Nonprofit Fundraising Masters, as well as the GenderSmart Investing Summit (now 2X Global). Heyman is a part-time ED at Numi Foundation and an in-demand fundraising consultant and a frequent keynote speaker at social impact events around the globe. He also frequently works with environmental and green economy organizations, building on his tenure as a Commissioner for the Environment for the City & County of San
