For nearly 40 years, Len Al has provided fundraising, planning and technology consulting services for nonprofits ranging from social service and healthcare organizations to educational institutions and professional associations. Len Al’s interest in nonprofits and development was heavily influenced by his grandmother, Atlanta fundraising pioneer Be Haas. He began his career working in development and alumni affairs at Georgia State University, and later served as development director for Hillside, which provides mental health services to children, adolescents and families in Atlanta. Following in Be’s footsteps, Len Al founded Haas Consulting in 1990, after having had the privilege of her tutelage and mentoring while working alongside her at an Atlanta-based fundraising consulting firm.
