What our clients have to say…

  • Everyone left the training feeling prepared to use their "Signature Language" to help secure the funding we need to advance our mission.

    Diane, VP, Development

  • Within the first thirty minutes of our training, I went from feeling awkward to being confident in sharing my passion and inviting a gift.

    Suzannah, Board member

  • We made a wise investment when we collaborated with Vision Philanthropy. Thanks to VPG’s leadership and guidance, we are better equipped to have a successful Endowment Campaign. The Bold Asking Workshop and subsequent Lunch ‘n Learn, were instrumental in preparing our Board and staff to build relationships and make the “bold” ask.
