Brady is dedicated to changing and improving charities to change and improve people’s lives. As a consultant, professor, practitioner, adviser, volunteer and giver he’s seen the power and potential of philanthropy to transform our world first hand. He’s also seen the many constraints and issues inhibiting the charitable sector from using that power and realizing that potential.

Currently, Brady is the Strategic Director at Charity Express, a Vancouver based agency helping small and medium sized nonprofit organizations use the web to tell stories and raise funds. He is the creator and main contributor on re: charity, a blog focused on innovation and improvements for charity, as well as an adjunct professor at the School of Business and Nonprofit Management at North Park University in Chicago where he teaches “Fundraising Principles for Nonprofit Organizations”.

After graduating with his Masters of Nonprofit Administration from North Park University in Chicago Brady began his career as the Director of Resource Development for Spark Ventures, a start-up organization doing sustainable development work to help children in developing countries. He then moved back to his native Canada to work for Opportunity International in Canada, the world’s largest Christian microfinance organization, eventually working as the National Director, Marketing & Communications.

He serves on the board of The Seacrest Foundation, is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), sits on the Spark Ventures advisory committee and volunteers with the North Park University Diamond Club committee.
