High Praise From Our Clients

Contact us to learn more about the expertise and energy that Ovation Fundraising Counsel
can bring to your fundraising program.

Ovation Fundraising helped to create a fundraising road map for our organization. Lisa listened to what we needed and took great care to create a unique plan that worked for our staff and Board of Directors. Our organization truly benefited from the knowledge and history she has working with nonprofits of all sizes.

Dyan Walsh, Executive Director
Eastern Area Agency on Aging

Lisa is a fundraising expert and is deeply committed to helping others develop their fundraising skills. She worked with us to create an affordable consulting package that met our needs, including a fundraising assessment, plan, and training for our board that helped us leverage resources to see a real impact.

Andrea Irwin, Executive Director
Mabel Wadsworth Center

We worked with Lisa over the course of our $5M capital campaign to build a new food distribution center. She provided invaluable insight about the campaign process, offered flexible support when and where we needed it, and helped us navigate the ups and downs that inevitably come during a campaign. Lisa was a constant resource and a valued member of our committee team that, ultimately, brought our campaign to a successful conclusion!

Erin Fogg, Vice President of Development and Communications
Good Shepherd Food Bank

Lisa’s calm, sensible, courteous approach toward the tasks at hand, toward our Capital Campaign Committee members, and toward our potential donors was instrumental in bringing about a very successful campaign. Lisa has the demeanor, professionalism, and expertise to provide any organization with a well-run, successful campaign. Her experience, advice, and follow through made us all look good!

Julie Hixson, Director of Marketing & Communications
Downeast Community Hospital

We engaged Lisa to undertake an assessment of our Development efforts - with the goal of both understanding our current strengths and limitations and positioning us for the future.  She was thorough, responsive, and ultimately provided us with a toolkit that we continue to draw from in advancing our work.

Christine Stelling, Director of Development
Maine Seacoast Mission

Lisa’s passion for fundraising is infectious. She provided us with expert guidance from the planning stage of our campaign and through the community phase. Our volunteer Campaign Team loved working with her and actually looked forward to campaign meetings.
