"Patience and Fortitude" - that's what came to mind when I recently spoke to Liz Coppola, Development Director at the Keene Family YMCA in NH to get an update on the status of their campaign to raise $14M to build a brand new state of the art building. Demont Associates worked with the Y on a planning study and directed their capital campaign in 2007 and 2008.
Many Demont clients fondly remember Laura Young, who was an integral member of the Demont team for ten years before she transitioned to her post as Vice President of Philanthropy at the Maine Community Foundation. I sat down with her recently to get some perspective for not-for-profits as we navigate 2011.
Demont Associates has found an excellent new resource for our clients.Asking Matters is an innovative web-based company that provides excellent and easily accessible information for staff members and volunteers to help them find the courage and inspiration to be effective fundraisers.We are proud to be providing Asking Matters memberships to our campaign clients.
"The [Asking Matters] quiz is surprisingly accurate!"
-Skip Bates, Steering Committee member for the Pen Bay Healthcare Foundation
