Cullen Rodgers-Gates

“Our organization is enormously more equipped to now implement an effective major gifts program because of our work with Gail and Kathryn.”

—Cullen Rodgers-Gates, Executive Director, Congo Initiative USA

Angela R. Bryant

“Gail Perry moved us from failure and drudgery with fundraising to success and reliability. She was worth every dollar and more.”

—Angela R. Bryant, Founder, The Wright’s Center, Rocky Mount, NC

Julie Nestingen

“One of my best “happy ending” stories involves a donor with whom I spent two years repairing a hurt relationship with. She came back with a gift nearly 80% above her previous large gift two and a half years earlier— and revealed she had left us in her will for a $2.5 million bequest gift. All of this was due to careful stewardship of her and good conversation starters taken from Gail Perry Group.”

– Julie Nestingen, Director of Development, Seva Foundation

Jennifer King CFRE

“Gail and Kathryn were so supportive, informative and inspiring – and that was really one of the components in our success.

I am delighted to report that we just passed the $1.2 million mark in what we have raised so far to purchase and renovate a building that is adjacent to our campus. How exciting to see the tools and strategies we learned from Gail and Kathryn be turned into a project that will allow us to continue our mission.”

—Jennifer King CFRE, Director of Advancement, Penn Foundation

Twyla Wells

“We closed a $700k gift because of Gail’s coaching for a major gift ask!”

– Twyla Wells, Executive Director, Johnson Community College Foundation
