Testimonials
“Sharon will support you in meeting and succeeding in your fundraising goals, just like she did for us.”
-Stephanie Barron Lu
Executive Director, Positive Discipline Community Resources
“I hired Sharon to equip me with the tools to become a major donor fundraiser and she did. I feel much more comfortable in the act of soliciting gifts. One of the most important things Sharon did for me was help me identify that the root cause of a lot of my stress was time management and prioritization. Sharon has helped me set priorities, and stick to them. These tools were so transformational for me that I’m strongly recommending them for my leadership team.”
-Sarah Newkirk
Executive Director The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County
