JEFF BURNSIDE

Welcome. Thanks for wanting to know a little more about me and my work

​

I'm a veteran journalist and fundraiser. I live in the Seattle area in Washington state, the Pacific Northwest corner of the US. My work has been done throughout the region and in places around the world.

​

​

JOURNALISM

My most recent work appears on the cover of the Sunday Pacific Northwest Magazine in the Seattle Times. And my non-fiction book came out in 2022 about an eccentric and inspiring pioneer in "Cashup Davis: The Inspiring Life of a Secret Mentor." I'm a longtime television news investigative reporter whose work has had measurable impact and honored with 10 regional Emmy's and many other national and regional awards.

​

FUNDRAISING

I have been using my leadership and communication skills to raise more than $15 million for nonprofits, including my proud work for the Sigma Chi Fraternity in support of a new chapter house at Washington State University and for the national Sigma Chi Foundation in support of scholarships, leadership training programs and much more. In a previous nonprofit role as president of the Society of Environmental Journalists, I also assisted executive staff in fundraising and presided over a $1M annual budget.

​

DOCUMENTARIES

I've produced and executive produced nearly a dozen television specials, and am now producing a documentary about Cashup Davis (above) and "First Contact, Lost Treasure."​
