When I started Douglas Shaw & Associates, more than anything I wanted to do what’s right in the world, and help others do the same. It was this simple vision that led me to set the core values that would guide our work—respect for you, a rigorous pursuit for great results, a passion for storytelling, and staying true to our vision. Today, these values help to explain us, but they don’t define us.

Our identity as an organization and as individual leaders in nonprofit fundraising comes from a willingness to serve you, and your donors, just as Christ served us.
