For more than 25 years Maria Gitin & Associates led organizations through successful capital campaigns, launched fund development programs and consulted on annual, endowment and special project fundraising. The majority of our client campaigns were their first or largest fundraising effort. We focused on building internal capacity and the ability to continue without outside counsel.
Continuing in that tradition with greater focus, Maria Gitin, CFRE current fundraising services include:
Fund Development Training and Coaching
We provide basic to advanced fundraising for organizations, boards, staff, associations, seminars and conferences, training organizations, individuals and committees. Interactive training generates enthusiasm, commitment and results.
You have been an immense help to this campaign...the efforts of the Committee represent a very significant civic accomplishment, and you own a good portion of the credit. I personally have gotten much out of your participation: new insights to capital campaigns, great banter and dialogue at our workshops, and the benefits of supporting the volunteer efforts spawned by your instruction, credibility and encouragement.
- Pat Cannon, Consultant, Marina Larger Library Campaign.
You gave us the knowledge to plan our campaign and the skill to execute our plan. - Richard A. Coskren, CEO, Insurance Educational Association
I feel your wonderful gifts: resourceful, joyful, focused and organized, and - big time - a mighty "can do" spirit.
- Mary Murphy, former CEO, Daren E. Camarena Health Centers
Maria helped me plan and coached me through every step of my first $10,000 ask and it worked like a charm. Both I and the donor felt great!
