Vanessa Hanba, Guadalupe Center

“I am new to the world of fundraising! Because of that, I have been quick to sign up for different webinars just to find myself overwhelmed by information that may or may not be helpful. Simon provided great, practical information and tools I will start using immediately!”

Emily Glosup, Our Mission Is His

“The best part of the webinar was the comparison of different thank you letters. Oftentimes, I feel like you are just told how to write a "good" letter, but you are never shown examples that need improvement. It can be hard to critique your own work. Seeing a letter that is labeled as needing work, and realizing it is very similar to letters I currently use, is what has really motivated me to start making some real changes!”

“Very insightful, even with the well-established and effective Thank You process my organization currently uses, there were many great tips!”

Ashley Daws, Cal Farley's Boys Ranch

“The best webinars I've attended on the topics--hands down.”

Melissa Lukin, Rebuilding Together Peninsula

“Simon Scriver is a cheeky and entertaining lad, with honest, practical, no-fuss advice. His creativity and follow-up resources are refreshingly invaluable to any development professional.”

Kathleen Weiner, Outer Cape Health Services

“I have worked in nonprofit for a number of years and this gives me fresh ideas of how to approach thank yous and asks. I make many mistakes, but all you can do is keep trying. The ideas I gained will better my letters and hopefully increase donations!”

Eddie Ezelle, MatSu Food Bank

“The webinar was very informative, concise and well put together.  We will definitely be implementing as much of what we learned as is relevant to our organization into our donor recognition program!”
