Always Growing, Always Adapting

Robert Grabel is a fundraiser, coach, and author who is passionate about helping leaders in the nonprofit sector realize their potential and make a meaningful impact on the world.

Robert spent over a decade in financial services, working as a banker, financial advisor, and wholesaler. He then made a purposeful career shift into the nonprofit sector, leveraging his skills to advance philanthropic efforts. Over the years, he has raised millions of dollars in support of senior care, homeless services, education, youth development, healthier lifestyles, and the fight against heart disease, cancer, and type 1 diabetes. His experience ranges from launching a start-up charity to serving in senior leadership roles for national and local organizations.
 

Robert’s proudest accomplishment was founding Teens Run Westchester, a nonprofit that used distance running to teach young people about setting goals, persevering through challenges, and achieving success.

Robert lives in his hometown of Philadelphia with his wife, Kimberly, and their Labrador Retriever, Casey. He enjoys being just a short drive from his mom, daughter, and son-in-law. In his free time, Robert writes and plays original music, runs half and full marathons, and recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming an ice hockey goalie.

Robert has authored Gifts from Mom: 7 Tips for Finding Light in the Darkness of Dementia and Just Do the Work: The Portable Nonprofit Coach. He is also a regular contributor on Medium.
