TESTIMONIALS
“My organization was without our Chief Development Officer and I hired Dona to ensure that our fundraising efforts did not languish while we positioned ourselves to rehire someone for the position. Dona spent eight months with us and she not only kept the train on the tracks, she also helped us rehab the train station! Dona provided honest and practical professional advice, which was invaluable to me and my staff. Dona never felt like a consultant. We felt like she was a true member of the RMHC Team.

“For many years, Culture Works had been without a staff member to lead the fundraising efforts. With Dona’s years of fundraising experience, she was able to give the organization a comprehensive evaluation of its strengths, weaknesses and opportunities as they related to development. We then took her recommendations, and with her help, successfully hired someone to fill the much-needed role of Development Director.”

Whenever I meet with Dona and seek her advice, our fundraising efforts at DECA become stronger. Dona’s experience in the development field is unsurpassed. Her knowledge of the region and the breadth and depth of her personal and professional relationships in the community have been priceless.”

“Dona completed a Development Audit for Artemis and we subsequently hired her to fill a gap in our development staff. Dona brings great energy to an organization and was able to make a big difference quickly, building a solid foundation for our fundraising efforts. Her thoughtful recommendations and staff mentorship left Artemis stronger and more sustainable.”
