Client stories

Every development client tells me the same thing: When it comes to donor-centered fundraising, you must thank your donors. And thank them again. 

Gratitude is vital to donor loyalty. It’s good business & the right thing to do. Read below to see how some clients have passed on gratitude to their donors

YWCA Pierce County

A number of years ago we started a Past Presidents Circle. With a history of 108 years, there were a number of women still involved in the community and the YWCA. The Circle meets annually, inducting in the newest past president. This year I wanted to present them with something special, a keepsake they would treasure, just as we have treasured them. That is when I sat down with Sandy. I looked at how she has worked with other groups to create a special talisman and I knew I had found the right person to help carry out my vision. Sandy listens and asks questions until she knows exactly what your goal is. She has perfect crafts(wo)manship. The result is a beautiful pendant. I cannot wait to give it to my past presidents!

Rosenbaum Financial LLC, Portland, Oregon

When I first met with Sandra Lewis, my intention was to create a personalized gift for my financial planning clients that would help differentiate me from my competition. I certainly got a lot more than that!! Sandra not only designed an extraordinary work of art that was within my budget, but she developed a compelling story and message around the bracelet. My clients not only wear the iconic compass (which is gender neutral), but actively use it to remind them of their own financial goals and journey.  I still get a thrill when a client tells me she looked at her bracelet for financial guidance. My clients literally carry me, and my message wherever they go!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the finished product!
