Testimonial

"Our foundation was at a critical stage of growth and Endowment Development's guidance through a strategic plan helped us to prepare for exponential growth and new community leadership challenges and opportunities."

Kevin Murphy,
Reading, Pennsylvania

"For 18 years Helen has helped guide our philanthropic initiative working with both the funder and our staff on planning, training and consulting assignments. Our huge success in raising over $1 billion of charitable funds in that time wouldn't have been possible without her help."

Jenny Kloer,
Indianapolis, Indiana

"As a new community foundation we found the offering of training workshops to our nonprofit organizations both helped us get better known in the community as well as attract some new endowments for us."

John Colgan,
Yakima, Washington

"As a large community foundation we provide many services to our nonprofits through our Nonprofit Resource Center. Endowment Building Workshops helped both our small and large nonprofits learn how to build their endowed assets very effectively, and the individual meetings they held with the participating organizations were exceptionally well received."

Stewart Stearns,
Sarasota, Florida

"I forward the weekly Tip to my board members regularly. In a concise and engaging way it says what they need to know to be more effective."

Terri Johnson,
Rochester, Indiana

"Our Community Foundation was able to convert a family foundation into one which had a much broader use. Helen guided the family, and our first board, through the entire process. As a result of her fine work, we were well-launched and have enjoyed a wonderful period of growth and acceptance in DeKalb County."

Jerry Smith,
DeKalb, Illinois
