Proposals, Etc.

Tip of the month:

A study by Campbell & Company/Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University found that donors give 19% more to secular organizations when asked by a person they knew, over a phone, mail or email request. – Advancing Philanthropy, January/February 2010

“Carla worked for Anna Maria College doing some grant research and proposal writing to build a new Art Center on Campus. Her skills at targeting the best foundations and tailoring our message resulted in $101,000 in grants, or a 2425% return on our investment. This was the first capital campaign at the college in two decades and we were more than satisfied with Carla's attention to details and the final result.”

- Michael J. Coogan, CFRE, Director of Institutional Advancement at Anna Maria College 2001-2004. President Coogan Associates - Fund Raising Counsel
