About David Sellery
At my core, I believe every mission has a story waiting to be heard. My work is guided by integrity, collaboration, and creativity — values that shape how I walk alongside clients, helping them uncover and share the stories that reveal mission, meaning, and hope. Through thoughtful storytelling, I strive to help organizations inspire connection, foster a sense of belonging, and create a lasting impact.
I’m a storyteller at heart, with decades of experience helping faith communities and nonprofit organizations inspire, engage, and grow. As the author of The Heart of Giving and other works, I see communications, fundraising, and stewardship as ministries of connection and hope — where every message is an invitation to community.
Today, I serve as Senior Director of Fund Development for Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of Hartford, overseeing all philanthropic initiatives that support those most in need. Before that, I led development efforts for the Order of Malta, American Association, helping raise more than $22 million to strengthen both local ministries and global humanitarian work.
My creative work has been honored with the CINE Golden Eagle and Communicator Award of Excellence for The Gate of Heaven, and the Bronze Telly Award for Chance of a Lifetime. These projects reflect my lifelong commitment to meaningful storytelling and excellence in communication.
Before entering the Catholic Church in 2024, I served for more than 30 years as an Episcopal priest — an experience that continues to shape my ministry of words and presence. Whether in the pulpit, on the page, or online, my mission remains the same: to help organizations tell their stories with authenticity, compassion, and purpose.
Let’s connect and bring your mission to life.
