NORWALK, Conn. - Marylandian -- In a move that reflects his lifelong commitment to transforming the way nonprofits relate to their donors, Mark Dobosz — VP of Philanthropy at Mozaic Senior Life, international and national speaker, and author of Beyond the Ask (2025) and Beyond the Culture (2026) — has announced that donorassess.org is now completely free to any nonprofit organization, fundraiser, volunteer, or mission-driven professional anywhere in the world.

Paired with its sister platform transactandtransform.org — also free — the two tools together form what Dobosz calls "the other side of the equation": the human, values-driven intelligence that wealth screening alone can never provide.

"Wealth screening tells you what someone has. These tools tell you who someone is."

— Mark Dobosz

Two Tools. One Mission. Zero Cost.

donorassess.org measures the emotional alignment and philanthropic propensity of donors, prospective supporters, and anyone who shares the values of your mission. It gives fundraisers a dynamic, relationship-centered profile that complements — and often surpasses — what traditional wealth screening reveals.

transactandtransform.org is an organizational culture diagnostic that helps nonprofits and their teams honestly assess where they currently operate on the spectrum from transactional to transformational — and chart a clear path forward. Both tools are self-guided, intuitive, and built for practitioners in the field, not just executives in boardrooms.

Why Free? Because the Movement Demands It.

Dobosz's decision is not a marketing strategy. It is a statement of conviction — one consistent with the philosophy he has championed across more than four decades of nonprofit leadership and over $100 million raised.

"Every nonprofit — regardless of budget, size, or geography — deserves the tools to build real partnerships with the people who believe in their work," said Dobosz. "The sector is suffering from a donor retention crisis, a small-dollar donor collapse, and a growing dependence on a shrinking pool of major gifts. The antidote is not a better ask. It is a deeper relationship. These tools exist to make that possible for everyone."

This decision is rooted in the same data Dobosz has been sounding the alarm on publicly: research from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project showing that 3% of donors now provide 78% of charitable dollars — a concentration that signals systemic fragility across the entire sector. His response has been consistent: go deeper, not wider. Know your donor. Honor their values. Build a partnership, not a pipeline.

A Full Ecosystem for the Transformational Fundraiser

The two free platforms are part of a broader body of work Dobosz has developed for practitioners ready to move from transactional to transformational fundraising:

Beyond the Ask: Building Transformational Donor Relationships (2025) — His foundational book on what it means to truly listen to a donor and co-create a philanthropic partnership that honors their values and advances your mission.

Beyond the Culture (2026) — The sequel that takes transformational principles inside the organization, examining the board culture, staff culture, and leadership behaviors that must shift for true transformation to take root.

"Transformational Philanthropy" — His LinkedIn newsletter, published regularly and followed by nonprofit leaders, development professionals, and board members across the country and around the world.

Built for the Global Sector

Both donorassess.org and transactandtransform.org are fully operational for users anywhere in the world. Nonprofit colleagues in Africa, the European Union, the United Kingdom, South America, Australia, and beyond can access and use both tools today — at no cost. The philosophy of transformational philanthropy does not stop at a border, and neither do these tools.

What's Coming Next

In the coming weeks, Dobosz will be formally notifying major professional associations in the nonprofit and fundraising sector of this free offer for their members. In the meantime, he is inviting everyone — fundraisers, board members, volunteers, executive directors, and mission-driven individuals — to access the tools today, share them with their organizations, and spread the word through their networks.

"Don't wait for a formal announcement," said Dobosz. "Share this now. The tools are live. They're free. And your donors — the real, full human beings on the other side of every relationship you're trying to build — are worth knowing."
