Tim Wahlers

Tim Wahlers is the Senior Director of Corporate Relations at BPC. Wahlers started his career as a social worker in Chicago, but switched to fundraising after his boss suggested that non-profits needed people who understood finances more than they needed another MSW.

After overseeing fundraising in Louisiana and Arkansas in the early 2000s, Wahlers moved to Washington DC for the Red Cross to focus on corporate and disaster fundraising, establishing relationships with multinational companies around the country

In addition to the Red Cross, he has worked for a variety of Health and Policy organizations, including the National Alliance on Hispanic Health, Planned Parenthood, the Children’s Defense Fund, and the National Coalition for Health Care.
