Testimonials

Ligia Pena helped my Foundation as we were starting to actively raise funds in the public and private sectors. Her advice, energy and open-minded approach helped us get on the right track and to focus our energies on strategies that were adapted to our specific needs and objectives. I hope we have the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.


Sue McDougall-Chartrand, Co-founder of Fondation de la Rue à la Réussite!

 

Ligia is a professional that inspires confidence. She has an exceptional capacity for listening and is extremely flexible: two qualities that enabled her to adjust the fundraising plan according to the challenges and constraints of the new project that I coordinated.

Ligia worked hard to retrain our brains around private fundraising. We were able to take on new perspectives and put in increased effort towards soliciting individual donations. And the results were very gratifying - we increased our individual donations by 271% in 2007-2008!

Lys Stevens, Studio 303

 

Ligia Peña's fundraising courses at Vanier went well beyond my expectations and our organization will certainly benefit from what we learned. It was well worth the effort of getting up early on several Saturday mornings to attend.

Linda Magher, Our Harbour

 

Perhaps the most important achievement of all over the last 7 months is that knowledge and expertise were transferred by Ligia to our organization so that we feel empowered and autonomous to take the lead and function on our own. This knowledge transfer was the most important aspect of our collaboration and it is my opinion that it contributed to the organization's renewed energy and better understanding of fundraising.
