What They Say

"Thank you, thank you a million times over. Thirteen years ago I decided to give fundraising a try— thinking it would probably not work out. I'd just get a knot in my stomach thinking about cultivating and asking for gifts. Then, I started reading your articles in Contributions magizine which lead to reading your books. You changed my career because you changed my attitude. You're the reason I love my job!"

-Cynthia, Hamline University
