What Nonprofits Say About This Training

I just ran the numbers from March 1 through May 31 [2020 coronavirus outbreak], and we have raised $144,000! Last fiscal year, we raised just over $300,000 in the whole year. We did HALF that amount in just 3 months and that is seriously because of Laura's expert guidance.

I couldn't be more pleased with the fundraising training offered by Laura. She is well versed in industry best practices and able to tailor training to my specific needs. Laura is approachable, efficient and dynamic. I continue to utilize the resources she provided and her training has had a significant impact on the success of our organization.
