TESTIMONIALS!

Sandi:
Was struggling to grow her charitable giving because her donors assumed her nonprofit was fully funded by program fees. And because she?d never been trained to do it, she lacked the confidence in how to solicit individual donors. She learned the three most important things she needed to have prepared for solicitations and her confidence boomed. Applying her new solicitation skills, her organization?s annual gala grew from $75,000 in 2018 to over $200,000 in 2019.
David:
Founded his US-based Nonprofit to build and support a school overseas. He faced the challenge of starting his fundraising with the high start-up costs of a Capital Campaign. David knew he had a few large donors in his network who could give substantial lead gifts to the campaign but didn?t know how to ask for large gifts and hadn?t been well-equipped by a prior consultant. Nervously, David invested in the 90-Day program where we prioritized the ask of a large, year-end gift. With a proper pitch deck and gift chart in hand, David secured a $300,000 lead gift near day 60 of the program.
Jerry:
Knew he had major-donors in his constituency, but they weren?t giving their best gifts. Growing in confidence, Jerry shifted from the past reactive fundraising approaches he was using and proactively started to share the actual financial need of his organization. Using the tools we designed together, a long-time donor was cultivated resulting in his gift growing from $12,000 to $110,000.
Lauren:
Inherited a board that wasn?t giving regularly or at all - most of them were first time board members. But, she wasn?t sure of the best first step engagement when expectations had never been set before. The tools we created provided clarity and raised their sights on the actual, true need of the nonprofit. Their board member giving grew from $350 to $8,500 the year they implemented this program.
Bing:
Was struggling to secure and grow into larger gifts for her organization. Despite major corporations giving regularly, their gifts were relatively small. Using the engagement strategies she learned in my program, she built relationships with the decision makers. This strategy grew an annual from a major financial institution from $5,000 gift to $25,000 this year.
Tre:
Was reeling when the organization lost an annual gift from a lead partner that made up 25% of their $1.2M budget. He knew he had donors with the ability to give larger gifts and was actually having some level of success when making appeals during speaking engagements. But Tre is a pastor by training and was just guessing when it came to individual major-gifts fundraising. He said to me ?I don?t know what I don?t know?. Using the entire program as a deep training opportunity, Tre solicited and received [3] $5,000 gifts the during the last two weeks of the program.
 
 
 
Quotes direct from clients:
Just wanted to give you a smile today. We have currently raised/have pledged $73,000 towards our $100,000 [event goal] as of today. It is just all those darn personal donor meetings! :) Thank you again for instilling confidence in me and for giving me the tools.

After years of not really having a solid strategy to increase our donor base or gift dollar amounts, this program has given me the tools, resources, and confidence I have been looking for to do so.
? Kim, Founder and Executive Director of ARTS
 
Working with Sherry on the LET?S GROW 90-Day Fundraising Program enabled me to develop the strategies, tools, and rhythms needed to not only engage with our Top 30 donors but to also invite them into deeper partnerships. The quality of information shared and the timeline offered provided significant value to our small but growing organization. I would highly recommend working with Sherry!
? Molly, Executive Director of Houston Welcomes Refugees
 
One of the most helpful tools I?ve gained is knowing how to solcit with a donor gift chart, knowing how to approach large asks, donor cultivation, and how to grow my donor base. The biggest impact is my confidence in fundraising and I?ve met or exceeded my fundraising goals while working with Sherry - she?s coached me to successful high 5-figure asks!
? Simone, Executive Director of Naomi's House
 
It?s hard to tangibly share how much your [program] has impacted me. This is the first time I have hope to see IREF fully funded in 2020?Be encouraged, Sherry! Your course is impacting our organization. Thank you for doing what you do. These tools are so simple, but they take time and diligence. I would have never known how valuable and important our budget, 990 form, and my time is without this program.
? Tre, National Director at IREF
 
For [our organization], this program is a game-changer. Your expertise and guidance is sincerely appreciated and we look forward to what?s to come. I am grateful for this opportunity.
? Jeannine, Board Member
