Here is what a few people think of my work:
"“Hiring a development consultant can be tough for a small non-profit. We have certain needs. Often a Development Consultant come in with a lot of templates and basically says – this is the way you have to do it. Caitlin is different. She listens – learns about the mission, vision, values, board members, staff, etc. complies it all and comes up with strategic plans specific for the organization. I cannot tell you how refreshing and helpful this is.”
---Julianne Brienza, Executive Director, Capital Fringe
"Caitlin is a dedicated professional who is both a strategic thinker and a tireless worker. She brings enthusiasm, passion and common sense know-how to every aspect of her work. She has been crucial to the improvements we have made this year in all aspects of our organization: assessing and streamlining processes, developing and conducting fund-raising and marketing approaches, overseeing personnel, and improving reports.
Any
nonprofit, no matter the mission, would benefit tremendously by having Caitlin
on board. Caitlin doesn’t simply provide generic or cookie cutter assistance;
rather, she has learned our organization inside and out, tailoring her work
accordingly. I cannot recommend her highly enough." ---Beth Prentice,Chair, Educate the Children
“Caitlin taught
me everything worth knowing about fundraising, particularly about cultivating
individual donors. She brings a unique "triple threat" to her work:
Speed, Depth of Experience, and the Ability to Connect with any kind of
constituent, from high-end donors to high-school interns . . . Caitlin's
ability to quickly size up a situation, define a problem, and create strategies
for addressing it is unlike anything I've seen. I look forward to working with
her again!”
---Michael
Barsanti, Senior Program
Specialist at Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative (former Associate Director, Rosenbach Museum
& Library)
“Working with Caitlin was undoubtedly a highlight of my tenure at the
Arden. She brought boundless energy and enthusiasm to the development program,
as well as great humor and warmth. Caitlin is someone who can sit down and
crank out a grant proposal during the day and then spend the evening
interacting gracefully with board members and donors. She's a terrific writer
and one of the smartest people I've ever met. She's focused, strategic and
hard-working. I'd hire her again in a second.
---Michael L Norris, Executive Director of ArtReach (former Director of
External Relations, Arden Theatre Company)
