Michael Blakely, President

As President and Founder of HCB Canada, Michael Blakely's vision is to turn traditional tele-fundraising into a more intimate, creative and donor focused process. Michael's previous work in non-profit and telecommunications has provided him the background and experience necessary to create a boutique tele-fundraising company, with an emphasis on ensuring each program becomes a valuable part of its clients annual giving and planned giving programs.

Michael's innovation, in part, led to the launch of the Home Charity Box™ program in North America. This unique and effective donor acquisition and conversion program has proven to be an engaging and cost effective fundraising tool. Michael's sales background and success in cold calling also led to the creation of TelCon™, a unique fundraiser training process exclusive to HCB Canada. This process trains fundraisers to have conversations with supporters and move away from the traditional scripted phone contacts. Michael continues to develop innovative stewardship program while overseeing the day to day operations of the call center.
