Loring Sternberg was thoughtful and instrumental in guiding our strategic planning process. They listened to our full team and paired it down to a useful document containing what we needed to guide us over the next three years. They were easy to work with and made the process enjoyable.
Shannon Mason
Chief Development Director, St Mary’s Early Childhood CenterYour expertise illuminated the room, and your ability to 'put the fun into fundraising' is truly commendable. The role-play exercise offered participants practical, hands-on experience in navigating the concept of solicitation. Several board members, who previously doubted their fundraising skills, now feel much more confident in the process. Our board left with a renewed sense of abundance and confidence in their fundraising abilities, which was incredibly refreshing

President & CEO, Starfish InitiativeLoring Sternberg helped Children’s TherAplay lay the groundwork which was vital to ensure a successful capital campaign by helping us assess the community’s willingness and ability to support our project, as well as help in developing the plan that would ensure our project made it from thought to finish. Nick, and Adam’s deep knowledge of the donor culture in our area and assistance with effectively working the plan we had in place helped ensure we were continually moving forward.
