“Frederick Health adopted the PRIDE Philanthropy model of giving clubs back in 1989. Since then, our small development team working alongside Development Council volunteers, has raised nearly $100 million in charitable support from our six giving clubs. The hospital’s fundraising model and success is the envy of other local nonprofits. In addition to providing us the foundation for our fundraising success, I appreciate PRIDE’s proactive guidance as to how we can continually grow and modify our program to meet the changing wishes and expectations of an ever-increasing diverse donor and prospect base. I can’t imagine doing this work without them.”
