"Our team enjoyed a great presentation on individual giving. In working with Susan for our annual strategy session and professional development, I believe we benefitted from hearing an expert voice from a fresh, outside perspective. Still, Susan took the time in preparation to get to know our team's strengths and challenges so that she could develop a concise presentation that was interactive and customized for us."

“I’m glad we were able to bring Sapphire Fundraising Specialists in for an in-person solicitation workshop! Susan worked collaboratively with me in advance of the workshop to ensure she was providing a specialized and curated experience to meet the team where they were. She constructed useful exercises with practical examples that we could relate to and were applicable to our field. She provided immediate constructive feedback along with tools to enhance our solicitation skill sets that the team could immediately apply to their work (and they did!) helping to build confidence in their donor solicitations. I highly recommend bringing Sapphire Fundraising Specialists to your organization as Susan will provide a highly personalized experience to help elevate your team.”

“It's so important to have a true thought-partner who will challenge you to think differently. I think that's what we achieved by working with Sapphire Fundraising Specialists. Beyond tactics, our approach to thinking about fundraising message and methodology has shifted significantly in a relatively small period of time. “
