Atwood About For over nineteen years, Tom has helped donors and stakeholders connect with the organizations they love. A graduate of Florida State University, Tom began his fundraising career as the Executive Director of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, the charitable organization of one of the nation’s largest men’s college fraternities. While serving the fraternity, Tom oversaw all aspects of the fundraising operation including board development, annual support, planned giving, and capital giving. While leading the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, Tom led or co-led three campaigns that sizably increased the assets of the organization.
