Russ was a great partner for our strategic planning process. We needed a skilled and objective facilitator who could get our board and staff members engaged and enthused about providing their input into developing our three-year plan and Russ delivered. He knew just when to let the discussion go and when to rein it in. Russ had great insights into how we could add more value for our members. I would highly recommend The Hodge Group.

In 2008, a failed attempt at raising funds left our board of directors hesitant about hiring a consultant again for our project. I had never taken on a $3.4 million campaign. Camp Siloam had no development strategy and we needed advice on how to build fundraising capacity. I needed someone to come alongside me and be my coach. The Hodge Group delivered all they said they would. I consider them friends and I think you will too.

Your dedication and expertise have been crucial to our campaign success, creating a partnership that exceeded our executive team’s expectations. Together, we have achieved significant milestones, making an impact on the future of Circle of Life. I truly appreciate you and your team and look forward to the possibility of working together again.

THG was instrumental in helping us build infrastructure as we developed a philanthropic platform to amplify the impact of The House of Songs. Their knowledge of Northwest Arkansas and the philanthropic marketplace was pivotal to our capacity building efforts.

We’ve been very successful at keeping our administration costs at a minimum, and this is one of the most appealing factors of the foundation when we find new benefactors. With the help of The Hodge Group, we have streamlined some of the processes so that I can say that in light of the last seven years, even though the fund has become considerably larger, the work required of over the last year has actually gotten easier.

The Hodge Group was instrumental in the success of our capital campaign. They helped us identify a realistic fundraising goal, develop key messages, and review donors prospects. They also provided essential training, encouragement, and guidance throughout the process. The result was a well-run and highly successful campaign. Thank you!
