Testimonials
“Through Goettler Associates guidance our campaign significantly increased the community’s awareness of the Hospital. It helped us to make many new friends, and made it much easier to identify and recruit new Foundation board members.”
- Bonnie M. Faulkner, Executive Director, Wilson Memorial Hospital FoundationCuyahoga Valley Christian Academy contracted with Goettler Associates for fundraising consulting services in connection with a $5 million capital campaign to create a permanent endowment to support need-based financial aid at the school. We found that the firm’s expertise and willingness to hold our feet to the fire was invaluable. This campaign was my first experience in a major fundraising effort, so I tried to soak up all of the expertise David had to offer, and I can tell you his experience was vast. My experience working with Goettler Associates was positive in every way; I would not hesitate to contract with them again.
- Roger Taylor, Ph.D., President Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy

On Second Thought: Board of Directors -or- Board of Trustees, does it matter?
Is there a changing preference for the name of your nonprofit governing board? In our experience it’s hard to say that there is a clear industry standard. As we observe the practices of our clients, there are actually some that have both a governing board of trustees and a supporting board of directors. When I […]
