Testimonials
“We’re very excited about making this wonderful cultural resource accessible to the public, and grateful to Goettler Associates for helping us get off to such a strong start.”
- Mary F. Rounsavall, President, Yew Dell GardensMy experience with Goettler Associates has been nothing short of outstanding. The team helped Union Hospital Foundation to far exceed our capital campaign goal. Goettler Associates was instrumental in the feasibility study phase, pre-campaign planning and implementation of our capital campaign that enabled Union Hospital to open our new 500,000 square foot building project. I would highly recommend Goettler Associates, for they are of the highest integrity and one of the most flexible firms I have ever encountered.
