Todd Svanoe

Hello and welcome!

Enjoy learning about the incredible world-changing pioneers I’ve had the honor of supporting as a success story writer and brand specialist.

And if you stay long enough, you’ll hear me singing in a fedora, hosting a radio show, and offering to be your personal coach!

My missions are to bridge differences, promote the good, build joy, and deepen understanding. So glad you stopped by!

Vision and Mission

I specialize in inspiration and blessing…

… just as God sends the sun every day to enliven and inspire the entire planet. Yes, everyone included. You can read when this love tidal wave or “kindness conspiracy” started, in Genesis 12:1-3 of the Bible, when God blessed Abraham, the father of Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

In so many words God said, “I’ll love, bless and have your back so you will love, bless and support the entire world.” So, how are we doing?

Parents give to their children in enormously sacrificial ways. But did you know that even just financially, a record $471 billion was freely given to American causes and those in need in 2020, even during the Covid pandemic?! (Source: Giving USA 2021: The Annual Report on Philanthropy for the Year 2020). 

Charitable giving increased most, 17%, through foundations, the main client I have served over 20 years, helping raise $50 million so far for urban development and human services.

I hope the stories of this “kindness conspiracy” will inspire you to join or donate to one of these efforts. Just look them up online.

Recommendations? RN Kathy Bissen’s Soul Care, caring for the feet of the homeless at four locations in Minneapolis; Urban Ventures Center for Families, led by John Turnipseed, to support parents of inner-city families; Pilgrim School, that literally adopts their inner-city students to ensure their success; or my Heartland Radio and podcast, sharing positive, actionable news and dozens of ways listeners can make the world a better place and Shindig Entertainment: Songs and Stories of Hope, Joy and Inspiration.

I say all this because it’s time we celebrated the unreported goodness that flows each and every day in our complex nation. And to invite you to jump into the most satisfying and healing stream imaginable, caring for family and neighbors in your life, and joining business-nonprofit partnerships, private and government initiatives, and faith-based organizations that are giving generously to make the world a better place each and every day.

The way most parents feel about and invest in their kids, God feels about and invests in his followers and in this world, and you can too!

Need help? Is yours the next nonprofit or foundation that needs me to brush up your brand identity, website and photo files, entertain at a fundraising banquet, or write your annual reports and success stories?
