William “Bill” Myatt is the founder and principal of Major Gift Solutions, a Chicago-based fundraising consultancy that helps nonprofits raise major gifts. Since February of 2024, Bill and his team have partnered with Tree House Humane Society in Chicago, where between 2023 and 2025, revenue from gifts of $5,000 or more quadrupled – increasing from just over $976,000 total revenue to more than $4.1 million. Before entering fundraising full-time, Bill earned a PhD in theology from Loyola University Chicago and taught at a number of colleges in the Chicago area. He is the proud father of four almost-adult children and an Australian Cattle Mix named Lucy.
