“When White’s began working with Henry Freeman in 1994 we had no fundraising program in place and no ‘donor base’ to start with—not even an annual appeal letter. Four campaigns later (including construction of a new administration building, renovation of White’s chapel, and most recently construction of our new 34,000 sq.ft. Student and Family Life Center) and sixteen years later, we are at a very different place. Not only do we now have a development office raising funds to support our work, but we also have a greatly improved campus for our students and staff.” —Dee Gibson, CEO, White’s Residential and Family Services

"Over 300 people joined us in celebrating the success of Olney’s campaign. For a school such as ours—and in the bleak economy we were facing—going over goal two-years ahead of schedule was a major accomplishment. Needless to say, we were also pleased to experience a 100% increase in annual giving after the campaign ended……an indication of the impact a campaign can have long after its completion."--Rich Sidwell, Headmaster, Olney Friends School

"Our feasibility study did more than provide feedback about a possible campaign. Recommendations from Elizabeth and Henry provided the strategic foundation for everything we did moving forward, and that foundation helped us exceed our goal by nearly $600,000."--Holly Jones, Executive Director, YWCA of Asheville
