Testimonials
“In fund raising, volunteer committees need a professional partner who knows how and when to guide, and how and when to push. Goettler Associates certainly was that partner. They greatly helped our transition from fund raising to development.”
- Marcia Ferguson, Executive Director, Parma Hospital Health Care Foundation“A HUGE and ringing endorsement for Goettler Associates. The firm directed the Library’s very successful capital campaign 10 years ago. After a competitive vetting process, we selected them again to do work this year. They just completed a campaign planning study for us for a major gift/endowment campaign. The final report was excellent, and very thorough. Mr. Goettler had good rapport with staff, elected officials and trustees – and that interpersonal magic should not be discounted. The community leaders he interviewed had good feedback on his professionalism.”
