Tony Dentman | Founder and

Executive Director

“I believe more than ever that minority leaders are positioned to change the world. However, the financial burden is too great for many to carry. So I decided to create the Funding Tribe Foundation to carry some of the weight.”

Tony Dentman was born and raised in the inner city of St. Louis, MO. He went to college and became a Christian during his freshman year through Campus Outreach College Ministry. When graduation time came around, Tony was offered the opportunity to come on staff with Campus Outreach at the University of Memphis. He has served with the ministry in Memphis for over 12 years. 

He is a speaker, author, as well as a life and fundraising coach. He is the Founder and Executive Director of the Funding Tribe Foundation (2017). He has a career history of coaching and equipping team members to excel and grow into roles of expanded scope and responsibility. He has over 14 years of experience as a fundraising coach and has trained hundreds of leaders.

Currently, he is the Chicago Expansion Director for Campus Outreach. He completed his Masters of Theology from the Reformed Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree in Leadership from Liberty University.
