Austin Jack

founder, funding freedom

Austin Jack helps leaders raise money with clarity, conviction, and confidence.

For more than a decade, Austin has worked alongside nonprofit executives, fundraisers, founders, and high-capacity donors to turn belief into action and generosity into lasting impact. His work is grounded in real-world fundraising, not theory—built from thousands of donor conversations, major gift asks, and leadership moments where clarity mattered.

Austin is the author of Funding Freedom: A Tactical Guide to Crafting a Winning Ask, Story, and Strategy and the creator of the Funding Freedom framework, which reframes fundraising as leadership, not sales. His Ask–Story–Strategy approach helps organizations stop chasing dollars and start building partnerships rooted in trust and purpose.

Organizations hire Austin to consult, speak, and teach because he brings discipline without dogma, urgency without panic, and strategy without fluff. He works directly with leadership teams to sharpen messaging, strengthen donor relationships, and prepare for high-stakes conversations that determine whether a mission stalls or scales.

Austin is trusted because he tells the truth, respects donors as partners, and treats fundraising as a serious responsibility. He believes freedom isn’t free—it’s funded—and that the future belongs to leaders willing to ask clearly, lead boldly, and fund what matters.
