“I have a fundraising background, but I knew that raising this much money would necessitate a higher level of expertise. Campaign Counsel’s campaign planning process prepared school leaders and our donor prospects for success, while their campaign management helped us with the materials, training, and ongoing strategic management necessary to stay focused and motivated.” —Kay Sullivan, President

“When our $12 million campaign to build our new children's museum stalled, Campaign Counsel got us back on track. There were many times throughout our campaign when our committee became discouraged and it was hard to keep going. Campaign Counsel became the steady voice behind our committee, keeping us focused on the vision, helping us work through roadblocks, and always moving us forward.” —Carol Meagher, KidZone Museum Executive Director

“We were a group of volunteers with no experience in fundraising, attempting to raise what looked to us like an enormous sum of money. Campaign Counsel guided us, taught us and encouraged us. All of which gave us the confidence we needed to be successful in our campaign.” —Gary Buff, Campaign Committee Chair

"Campaign Counsel stepped into our project when a tragedy threatened our progress. Their team helped us regroup when we were most worried about moving forward without counsel. They did not miss a beat, understanding our circumstances, encouraging us and coaching us to keep on schedule. They have earned our trust by keeping their promises and keeping us on track. Over deliver - the motto of our campaign with Campaign Counsel!" —Jane McCracken, Director of Campaign Development

“This is our second campaign with Kevin and his team. Their greatest value to me was their patience in managing so many moving parts. We had campaign donors, staff and volunteers scattered across three very large counties. Campaign Counsel kept us all moving in the same direction – towards hitting our campaign goal – until the very end.” —Abel Noah, Vice President and Executive Trustee, Confluence Health Foundation

"We had zero capital campaign experience when we started. The whole idea of raising that much money, and coordinating it all with a city-wide bond, was completely overwhelming to me and my board. But we made it! We have a beautiful award-winning library, and I'm still calling on Campaign Counsel for fundraising advice." —Leslie Modrow, Foundation Director

“We were a little foundation with big dreams, always hoping that someday we would get the chance to really improve the delivery of cancer care here. I didn’t have any experience in running a big campaign. In fact, the whole idea of asking my friends and neighbors for big gifts was frightening. Fortunately for me, my Campaign Counsel consultant was patient, reaffirming and very good at her job. Without her help I could not have kept fighting until we hit our goal.” —Angel Ledesma, Executive Director, Columbia Basin Cancer Foundation

“At the start of the fundraising process, our Library Foundation was a small, inexperienced organization with an ambitious vision for a library modeled after the Scandinavian ‘culture house.’ Campaign Counsel took us from 0 to 90, and helped us turn that vision into a bricks-and-mortar reality. In the end, with Campaign Counsel’s unflagging guidance, we surmounted each challenge and raised $6.25 million in support of what is now an iconic, beloved, and award-winning library.” —Karl Olson, Director, Missoula Public Library Foundation 

"We had several big consulting firms from Seattle interested in our project, but I had the impression that they were going to look at our community like any other. Wenatchee is relatively small town, and our patients come from even smaller towns up and down the Columbia River. We wanted a firm that wouldn't use 'boilerplate' materials and processes with us, which I think was a big factor in our success." —Abel Noah, Foundation Director
