“When we launched an ambitious $15 million campaign, we had passion, a strong reputation and a clear sense of purpose, but little internal fundraising infrastructure and a limited donor pool. The Netzel Grigsby team provided a steady hand and clear guidance, and their partnership was essential to the success of our campaign.” – Sigrid Wright, CEO, Community Environmental Council
"I realize that my decision to work with Netzel Grigsby Associates has been one of the most significant decisions in ensuring that future generations of leaders will have a robust stewardship and financial foundation upon which to build. We were successful in raising $14 million dollars and in the process we developed a culture of stewardship that is transforming how we accomplish our strategic priorities. As an early career senior pastor, these two mission-critical accomplishments have been accelerated in ways that enable me to lead with confidence and gratitude."
