Why We Built This
The Problem We Saw
In small communities across Oregon, coaches and program leaders were spending nights and weekends running fundraisers that barely covered costs. They were selling overpriced candles, fighting for raffle ticket sales, and handing 20–30% of every dollar to a vendor who disappeared right after.
The fundraising model was broken — not because people weren't working hard enough, but because no one had given them a real system. They had effort. They lacked structure.
The Person Behind It
Built From the Field Up
Branden Bailey
Founder & CEO
I'm a teacher, coach, and program leader in rural Oregon. For over a decade I've lived the reality of fundraising — long nights, tight budgets, constant pressure to figure it out.
I've also seen what works. By focusing on relationships, structure, and clear systems, I've helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in small communities that most vendors write off. That experience became NW Peak Fundraising.
“When purpose is clear, the rest should be easier — not harder.”
