Hear from fundraising professionals who have transformed their approach through this system:
Our experience with Terry as a fundraising leader in our community has been remarkably positive. She has conducted some outstanding training sessions for our board in fundraising and also provided extremely valuable coaching for me and other staff members and trustees for solicitations of major donors. In short, in a brief period of time she made a huge impact on our synagogue's fundraising capacity, at exactly the time of urgency due to the pandemic when we needed to ramp up the effectiveness of our development committee and fundraising activities. A number of people who had never done large solicitations before were able to do so for the first time under Terry's clear and sensitive guidance. She’s had a transformative effect on our congregation in both fundraising and strategic planning.
- Rabbi Robert Scheinberg, United Synagogue of Hoboken
As a principal of 360 Philanthropy Group, Terry has been advising and mentoring our young non-profit in fundraising. Her insightful tutelage has helped us build important relationships that have made us grow as an organization, taught us necessary negotiation strategies, and guided us as we created our development strategy. Terry is so effective because she cares deeply about the success of her clients and is determined to assist them not only in their immediate fundraising needs, but also to guide them as they build their development skills.
– Cheryl Lloyd, Executive Director, Pathways to Trust
