I appreciate the time our project director took to learn about the College and our community. He helped us develop a campaign strategy that will help us serve our students, develop new facilities, and support local business and industry. I am quite confident that Convergent has given us the tools we need in order to be successful.

Exceptional service and valuable insights were delivered by Convergent Nonprofit Solutions when they conducted our comprehensive campaign feasibility study.

I truly appreciate the leadership, structure, and sense of urgency that Convergent brought to our Raise the Roof capital campaign. We set a very ambitious goal for our community, and your guidance allowed us to reach farther and achieve success much sooner than we could have accomplished on our own. An added bonus was that we received outstanding publicity through the many conversations we had with prospective donors.

“Lots of organizations don’t focus beyond the top executive level. This was not the reality with Convergent. They worked with our entire team. Without the clear picture they provided, we would not have been able to make our strategic next steps. Their quality of work was excellent; their professionalism, dedication and focus on the client were exceptional.”

Convergent’s collaborative spirit and commitment to our efforts ensured that we stayed on course and met our objectives, even when we encountered challenges.

“We couldn’t have asked for more from Convergent Nonprofit Solutions on our feasibility study. Their service and people were excellent. Lots of organizations don’t focus beyond top executive level. This was not the reality with Convergent. They worked with our entire team. The level of value in their study was extraordinarily high. Without the clear picture they provided, we would not have been able to make our strategic next steps. Their quality of work was excellent. Their professionalism, dedication, and focus on the client were exceptional.”
