Just wanted to
share some wonderful news with you.  We have been in
the black for two consecutive months.  And, best of all, we had a $70,000 donation come in last week.  Yeah!!!  We plan to pay off a bill to the landlord and put a good chunk into a one-year CD.  With a new minister in the wings, we are smoking.  This did not happen until after our workshop with you.

Thank you for your help ...blessings,

"I attended Carol Redman's Major Gifts seminar.  She provides you with the essential basics on how to grow wealth for your agency.  Her strategies are a way to sustain your agency without relying on grants and fundraising events -- that essentially generate one-time funding.  The focus is on true sustainability.  If you are ready to shift the way you raise money, then I would definitely recommend attending this seminar.  Carol is very knowledgeable about major gifts and the information is invaluable.  Brilliant."

From one of the 50 largest foundations in Atlanta:

"I applaud you for your focus on strategic planning, board development and individual giving.....the three combined are funda-mental to a nonprofit's success!  You are right that, all too often, one or more of those elements is missing...and that greatly reduces the chances that a nonprofit will be successful in approach-ing foundations for grant support.
Keep up the good work."
