About Higher Calling Capital
Dana Davis
Founder, Higher Calling Capital
With an initial background in pharmacy management, Dana discovered her true passion in serving others through fundraising. Her journey began at Alpharetta Christian Academy, where she successfully increased fundraising and scholarship dollars by over 370% in just three years.
Building on that success, Dana took on a larger leadership role at Valor Christian Academy as the Director of Institutional Advancement, overseeing fundraising, scholarships, admissions, marketing, and communications. Under her leadership, the school achieved record-breaking fundraising results, setting new milestones for both the Annual Fund and GA GOAL.
Dana’s expertise lies in strategic planning, donor relations, and innovative fundraising solutions. Through Higher Calling Capital, she equips schools and organizations with the tools they need to maximize fundraising efforts, strengthen donor engagement, and achieve long-term financial success.
