“I was fortunate to do many different things in my previous job — there was no way I would have four hours to spend with a donor. I have more time to cultivate relationships here. It’s extremely satisfying.”

“You’re not going to find a better Advancement shop in central Ohio. We really are the premier place to work. We offer the most support to our employees. This is the place you can raise the most money in your career. You can close really large gifts that you may not have at a small nonprofit.”
