Jodi Bopp is thrilled to be leading the Advancement Team at I Am Boundless, Inc. With thirty years of experience working in non-profit philanthropy, Jodi has helped raise millions of dollars in gifts which support a diverse array of missions.
Jodi began her career in a small shop where her primary responsibilities were gift processing and database management. She quickly moved into annual giving work, managing direct mail, phonathons, grants, events and volunteer management. After a few years, she made the jump to face-to-face fundraising, working with leadership annual donors and from there eventually moved to planned gifts/major gifts for several years.
Jodi’s career started working in small shops for small and mid-size social service organizations. She also spent a little more than a decade in higher education fundraising, learning the value and importance of working with individuals to maximize their philanthropic impact. Five years ago, Jodi returned to social services and bringing with her the best practices from larger philanthropic organizations.
Jodi is committed to the profession of non-profit fundraising, and is called upon frequently as a speaker, trainer and mentor to others in the profession. A multi-decade member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Jodi served as the AFP Central Ohio Chapter President for two years, and chaired numerous AFP committees throughout her time with the organization. Currently, she’s leading an Executive Peer Cohort for the chapter. She achieved Certified Fund-Raising Executive status in 1997, one of the youngest professionals in Central Ohio to do so. In 2013, Jodi was named the Central Ohio AFP Fundraiser of the Year.
Jodi passionately believes in the transformative power of philanthropy and takes great satisfaction in the opportunity to work with those who want to help others lead a boundless life.
