I want to start by thanking Robin for the role they played in helping us reach this milestone. Robin had the great idea to use the catchy phrase “close the gap” and developed a plan for the mini-campaign which positioned us to raise almost as many gifts in the past 2 months than we received throughout the entirety of the rest of the capital campaign and $1 million more!

Robin has provided consultation to my organisation for over a year. Her experience was instrumental during the pandemic, helping to guide my organisation through a difficult fundraising year. She is on top of the details and makes all her appointments. Robin is always prepared and has pushed me to be the type of fundraiser that best supports my organisation. I find that Robin is a great teacher/mentor, kind, and has a gentle, yet purposeful teaching approach.
