Since 1997, Fundamentals has helped more than 100 organizations grow and diversify.  We understand that the philanthropic landscape is constantly evolving. However, the fundamentals of fundraising remain the same. Our expertise lies in building and managing fund development strategies and programs for individual giving and foundation grants. We also support organizations in planning for the future by writing cases for support, marketing communications and creating practical strategic plans.

Peter Hoppe is a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE)  with over 30 years of experience in the charitable sector.  Before establishing his fundraising agency in 1995, Peter worked in senior leadership positions for several major organizations, including the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Cystic Fibrosis Canada and Canadian Feed The Children (Kinvia).  

Peter is also a part-time professor at Seneca Polytechnic, where he teaches graduate-level courses on philanthropic trends, fund development strategies and social enterprises. He also taught the same subjects at Humber Polytechnic.  Students and young professionals who graduate at the top of their class are often contracted to work with Peter and his clients.  This strategy keeps Fundamentals young in spirit and on top of its game! 

Peter is well-connected in the charitable sector. He has a history of volunteering on nonprofit Boards of Directors and contributing to the fundraising profession. He makes it a priority to cultivate relationships with organizational leaders, established fundraising practitioners, and the young professionals he taught who share his passion for innovative social change.
