Brian Seeley and his team opened a nonprofit with $300 and built it into a multi-million dollar fundraising operation. This workshop gives you the system — and the software — behind it.
Founder, Dream-Pilot
Every registered nonprofit gets access to the Wheel of Generosity — a live, gamified fundraising experience where donors spin to set their giving amount. Before the workshop, start building your donor chain — the more people who commit to give through your wheel, the more momentum you carry into the room on June 21st. The nonprofit with the longest chain wins a free annual subscription to the full platform.
Brian breaks down the fundraising strategy he has used across years of live events — how to structure a room, build momentum, and turn a single evening into lasting donor relationships. This isn't theory. It's the playbook.
Then you will experience it firsthand. We raise real money for AFP's Be the Cause campaign live in the room using the Wheel of Generosity. The top donor from that experience also wins a free annual subscription.
You leave with the strategy — and a hands-on look at the platform built to run it. Create your event, generate your assets, and see what the full system can do for your next one.
Sponsorship packets, invitations, flyers, day-of materials — Dream Pilot generates them from your answers, branded and ready to share.
Each team member gets a trackable link. Every introduction they make — sponsor or guest — flows through the system automatically.
Sponsors commit, guests RSVP, tables populate. Sponsors' guests pre-load at their table. You see the event take shape in real time.
Your run-of-show, your dashboard, your live event view — everything your team needs to execute with confidence.
After the last guest leaves, Dream Pilot shows the full relationship tree — who brought who, who gave, and who to follow up with next.
Founder, Dream-Pilot & Wheel of Generosity
Brian has spent nearly two decades in mission-driven nonprofit leadership. In 2011 he and his team founded Gospel Inc. — a grassroots housing initiative for the chronically homeless in Lakeland, Florida that secured millions in funding and outlasted his own tenure.
That work put him in a lot of fundraising rooms — and taught him that events don't raise money. Relationships do. Dream Pilot is the system built from that understanding — generating every asset your event needs, mobilizing your team, tracking every sponsor and guest, and mapping the relationships behind every dollar raised. The Wheel of Generosity is the live fundraising experience that makes the room move. This workshop hands you both.
