Client Comments

 

 James A. Brooks, former Executive Director, Trezevant Manor Retirement Community, Memphis, Tennessee
                                                    

 

"Brydon DeWitt's advice and methods were neither flashy nor prescriptive.  He really cared about us as his client, and focused his time and energy to get to know our organization and what makes it unique and special.  It was clear from the day I met him that Brydon is a believer in building a strong base upon which the fund-raising effort will grow long-term friends and relationships.  In a time when so many were seeking to sell us a quick fix to  our fund-raising woes, Brydon counseled us to do things right and stay the course.  He was correct!  Our successful fund-raising program is today on firm ground and continues to expand due to Brydon's counsel and solid methods."

 

 

Mary Jo May, CFRE, Executive Director, Little Company of Mary Hospital Foundation, Evergreen Park, Illinois

 

"Brydon has been a great help to me and to Little Company of Mary Hospital. His counsel was critical in establishing a Development Board of "pro-active" fund-raising volunteers. The Development Board led to the establishment of a charitable Foundation whose chief function is to raise funds on behalf of the hospital. The advice, instruction, and education Brydon provided was based on reliable fund-raising principles which are being proven over and over again."
