Margaret is a professional who brings a great deal of insight and clarity to a project. Her work on our
recent fundraising appeal letter was spot on, and the payoff for our organization was exactly what we were
looking for – a significant increase in the number of gifts under $100, and an increase in overall funds
raised from the previous year (62 percent). Margaret is sharp, attentive to clients' needs, and easy to
work with. I recommend her without reservation.

Margaret generously served Gesu Parish in a critical time in its history. She worked closely with me
and other parishioners to produce highly important communication about a delicate parish matter. Her
keen insights, good judgment, vast array of skills, and hands-on experience will prove
valuable to any nonprofit organization. Margaret knows how to get things done…quickly,
concisely and professionally.

Thanks for your contribution to the team effort. I was impressed by how rapidly you picked
up on all of the program's key points and were able to explain the science and
technology so clearly to people we will never meet (the awards committee). Great job!
