Meet the Team
The people behind your fundraiser.
School fundraising is a big job, and nobody should do it alone. Our team brings decades of experience, a lot of heart, and one simple goal: make your campaign easier and more successful than the last one.
Pete Lovelace
CEO & Co-Founder
Pete has spent more than 15 years in fundraising distribution and custom apparel, and he co-founded Giving Market to give school leaders the partner they deserve. He sets the vision, builds the team, and personally obsesses over the product lineup each year.
Daniel Freeman
COO & Co-Founder
Daniel keeps the whole machine running. As COO, he leads operations, from ordering and fulfillment to getting every box to the right school on time. He previously served as COO of Palmetto Fundraising, and he brings that same steady, detail-first approach to every Giving Market campaign.
Ryan Clark
CRO & Co-Founder
Ryan leads sales and partnerships at Giving Market. Before co-founding the company, he was one of Palmetto Fundraising’s top sales reps, helping schools hit their fundraising goals. Today he builds the relationships that bring new schools and partners into the Giving Market family.
Caitlin Barnett
Director of Customer Success
Caitlin makes sure every school leader feels supported from kickoff to delivery day. She and her team answer the questions, solve the problems, and keep campaigns on track, so our partners can focus on their students instead of the busywork.
Natasha Cook
Sales Enablement Lead
Natasha gives our sales team and reps what they need to win: the tools, the training, and the materials. Her work means every school gets clear information, a smooth start, and a team that’s ready to help.
Jennifer Meaders
Director of Marketing and Operations
Jennifer tells the Giving Market story. She runs our weekly videos and content, sharing product spotlights, fundraising tips, and the wins our schools celebrate. If you’ve watched a Giving Market video, you’ve seen her work.
