Nonprofit Playbook Endorcements

"I know you probably get inundated with offers of help - this is one worth taking the time to look at. The Advancement Foundation is a nonprofit that brings the workforce and materials you need to build capacity. They become an active part of your organization. If you are in need of fundraising help, board development, strategic planning, staff development, or marketing this is the organization to work with."

“It is my opinion The PlayBook is desperately needed and the timing could not be better.  Nonprofits have always been short on resources but now with the challenge of a declining economy we are now asked to perform miracles.  The Advancement Foundation has offered us a gift with The Playbook by providing a 'how to' book on maximizing our fund raising efforts.  The Playbook helps you develop a step-by-step plan for donor relationships, stewardship, data management and more. Simple steps can make a huge difference.”

“Summarize your organizational strategic plan into an appealing, yet informative visual document that you can present to partners, investors and supporters to build your case. If the donor can quickly review your materials, understand your mission and vision without boring and detailed documents, you have effectively communicated your strategies and needs to accomplish them.”

It exceeded my expectations and invigorated our entire board! we are now able to move forward with a well thought out strategic plan that focuses on action and accountability. Our board members are more engaged and have true ownership of our future.”

“Do not be afraid of management tools, spreadsheets, and time lines. You need to know your plan and so do others. Having this information accessible and digestible will always be a good thing. All of these things and more are available with The PlayBook.”
