2019-01-10_Delane_Bailey-Herd_Veritus_Group_Testimonial_Image“Through Major Gift Academy, and continued work one-on-one with a Veritus consultant, I’ve gained a better understanding of each step in the process, and I’ve built a terrific foundation for getting better results. The training I received helped me to carefully and systematically plan frequent touch points with the donors on my portfolio, so I could better discover the passions and interests of the donors I work with and match it with their resources.

This course and the continued consulting with Veritus gave me the confidence to recognize that when a relationship of trust has been established, I can be fearless in my approach when asking for a much-needed gift for a worthy cause”
