One of the joys of retirement is leaving behind one passion (fundrasing) and pursuing another. For me that new passion is standing in front of a hot 2,000 degree forge crafting limited edition rustic style knives. A real hoot. To see my knives visit www.hfreemanknives.com

H. Freeman Associates, LLC, a fundraising and organizational development consulting firm I founded in 1993 following a twenty-year career in advancement and positions of leadership at Earlham College, The University of Michigan and Yale. As an active Quaker, public speaker and author, I have been widely recognized and known for my "heart-based" approach to fundraising as a profession grounded in authentic relationship building and communication between people who share a common vision, dreams and values. Our clients range from schools, colleges and international relief agencies to retirement communities, faith-based organizations and institutions (both large and small) responding to the needs of the poor, children, youth and families.
