“We’ve been working with PRIDE Philanthropy since 2013. In the interim PRIDE has provided us with two campaign feasibility studies and led us through a capital campaign which more than doubled its $7 million goal, and we are now in the early stages of an $8.8 million campaign. They provided insightful leadership, excellent educational opportunities for board and committee members, strong support to staff, a willingness to share a world of experience and some great stories, and… a pep talk when needed. The entire PRIDE team has been terrific to work with and their client conferences have been extremely valuable for both board and staff. On numerous occasions I’ve recommended PRIDE Philanthropy to colleagues looking for a consulting firm, which makes you feel you are the center of their world as you work to improve healthcare for your world.”
