Convergent Nonprofit Solutions was the easiest choice for us. Their nonprofit knowledge, economic development experience, and understanding of the complexities that exist in public-private partnerships like ours was the trifecta. The Convergent team executed a feasibility plan that we continue to use today and a retention strategy that assists in retention and recruitment of our investors. The information, influence, and connections brought to our table by the Convergent team solidified our role in the community as the regional leader in business and economic development.

I would absolutely recommend using Convergent. We were very pleased with our results. Not only did we raise more money than we thought was possible (15% over goal), we did it six weeks ahead of schedule and under budget! I don’t think we would be where we are today without their guidance.

We really liked Convergent's approach in looking at the science in terms of what the benefits would be to the community and quantifying that. They took an analytical approach as opposed to simply running a campaign.

We can count on them to provide solid recommendations for our campaign, specific enough that they offer direction but broad enough that they aren't limiting. We’ve had good experiences with each study Convergent has done, but I have to say this was the best one despite the challenges of a global pandemic. We were very pleased.

I’ve worked with Convergent on four campaigns now and their concern for our success, along with their integrity and professionalism, are the reasons that I will continue to use them in the future.

“In the span of six short months, our Board went from being nervous about the initial campaign investment to being ecstatic with the attainment of our goal, and our subsequent stretch goal! Convergent can do it like no other. Their system is rigorous and extremely effective. We have nothing but great things to say about this organization!”

“The strategy and support offered by Convergent helped our Board expand its vision for the Foundation, which in turn helped to refocus and redefine our organization's impact in our community. The methodology behind their capital campaign process not only helps to raise more money in the immediate, but it also builds best practices for long-term investor relations and lays groundwork for the success of future funding initiatives.”
