Fundraising University Welcomes Kelly Weeks as Franchise Owner in Maine
Fundraising University is proud to announce Kelly Weeks as its newest Franchise Owner in Maine, continuing the organization’s strategic expansion with experienced, values-aligned ownership in the sports & activities fundraising space.
Fundraising University is a franchising model with streamlined operations and scalable unit economics, making it an attractive business for both owner-operators and multi-unit investor groups. Kelly’s background and approach reflect the type of disciplined, execution-focused leadership the organization seeks as it continues to scale nationally.
A Franchise Ownership Opportunity Built for Leaders
Kelly intends to operate as a full-time owner-operator, personally responsible for launching and managing the business. Her role will include overseeing day-to-day operations, sales activity, relationship development, and local execution.
Her plan is to build the business methodically, leveraging prior franchise ownership experience and a strong understanding of structured sales systems to drive early traction and long-term sustainability. This execution-focused mindset aligns directly with Fundraising University’s franchise model, which is designed for owners who value systems, consistency, and responsible growth.
Proven Franchise Experience and Business Leadership
Kelly is currently a Senior Franchise Consultant with The You Network and a former franchise owner with a proven track record. She previously owned and successfully operated Oasis, which she sold prior to relocating internationally.
Her professional background includes extensive experience in franchise sales, business development, and revenue generation, along with firsthand knowledge of building and scaling a location-based business. Kelly has shared that her prior franchise ownership experience represented one of the most fulfilling periods of her career and played a key role in her decision to return to franchise ownership.
Fundraising University selected Kelly based on her operational discipline, franchise fluency, and ability to execute within a proven system — qualities essential for success in a scalable franchise model.
Ownership Models at Fundraising University
While Kelly is launching her business as a full-time owner, Fundraising University partners with a select group of ownership profiles across the country.
The organization supports hands-on operators as well as experienced, multi-territory owners — including executives transitioning from corporate leadership, past franchise owners with multi-unit experience, and investors seeking to build a scalable, long-term portfolio within a proven system.
As Fundraising University continues to grow, its franchise model is intentionally designed to support expanded territory ownership and multi-market development, allowing owners to scale responsibly based on experience, resources, and long-term vision. This approach enables deeper partnership, stronger operational support, and a more sustainable ownership network over time.
Expanding Franchise Ownership Opportunities in Youth Enrichment
Kelly’s launch in Maine reflects Fundraising University’s broader growth strategy: expanding selectively with experienced, values-aligned owners who understand what it takes to operate a business tied closely to sports, schools, and local communities.
Her addition strengthens the organization’s national footprint. Welcome, Kelly!
