"There's a tried and true way to fundraise"

“There’s a tried and true way to fundraise. The knowledge that the team from Philanthropic Fundraising brought to the table was great.”

Addie Nardi, CEO at Boys and Girls Club of Washington County, MD.

Organizations we have worked with

  • "I have been involved in many fund raisers over the years. Gudrun Hofmeister is the best fund raising professional I have ever worked with. She enthusiastically kept the volunteers on task and she is an absolute expert at raising money from foundations. I would highly recommend her to any charity trying to raise a large sum of money."

    Blackie Bowen, Chair, Empowering Lives Campaign

  • "It's always nice when you're able to take a breath, get someone in and have them solve your immediate issue. And that's why I think Philanthropic Fundraising has helped us be so successful because we've been able to take a crisis, manage through the crisis, and then pick up and figure out how to continue to excel in resource development."
