Success Stories

The following are success stories from Gail’s Fundraising Clients:

The work you have done in developing our board and staff, and in preparing us for a successful capital campaign has been exceptional and is deeply appreciated.  Even one year ago, the notion that we would mount a successful Capital campaign seemed a remote and foreign improbability. But with your help we have made it tangible and the talk of the town.
~ Dr. Finley Anne Bryan, Executive Director, Cape Fear Botanical Garden

Gail Perry moved us from failure and drudgery with fundraising to success and reliability. She was worth every dollar and more.
~ Angela R. Bryant, Founder, The Wright’s Center, Rocky Mount, NC

Because of Gail, we are on our way to creating a well-oiled machine that can confidently and effectively sustain the financial support we need to do our work.
~ Caroline A. King, Administrative Director, Operation Respect, New York, NY

Gail, I cannot thank you enough for your work preparing us to raise money.   Our board members now have a clear understanding of their role in fundraising, and are actually taking the initiative to implement the plan. This is nothing short of miraculous. 
~ Jon Wilner,  Director, the ArtsCenter

I don’t know where or how to begin thanking you!   Just know that you have changed lives and made a lasting impression on Fayetteville.
~ Linda Frenette, Executive Director, Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra

Thanks so much for your great advice for our organization.  Your support and enthusiasm are inspiring.  Margaret ~ Barrett, Orange County Rape Crisis Center, Chapel Hill, NC

You showed us how to fine tune what was already in place, how to reword our approach (both written and verbal) more effectively and how to incorporate new initiatives into what already was taking place here at FSO.

In addition, your strategies are easy to remember, so they can be quickly put into practice.  For example I have already quoted your “when in doubt throw a party” and “buy a ticket anyway” philosophies when communicating with the board.
~ Linda Frenette  Executive Director, Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra

Personally, I feel that I have greatly increased my knowledge, skills and confidence in the fundraising area and therefore my value to my organization and any future employer.

I appreciated how you supported the staff.  You aimed to help us rather than seeking out deficiencies or putting people on the defense.
~ Linda Frenette  Executive Director, Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra
