CoachArt
"I've worked with plenty of consulting firms, and vetted even more, and there is just nobody like CGC! CoachArt wouldn't have been successful on our first Peer-to Peer fundraising campaign without their support. Their strategic guidance, strong messaging, engaging content, and easy to use templates played an integral role in helping us raise over $43,000 from almost entirely new donors outside of our usual donor list. I would strongly recommend CGC to any organization in need of a marketing and fundraising team that will help them engage new potential donors that aren't currently prospects, and surpass their peer-to-peer fundraising goals!" -Greg Harrell-Edge, Executive Director

With their support, we raised over $137,000! We could not have done it without them." - Denise M. Gutierrez, President and CEO
