“Forward House Community Society greatly appreciates the knowledge, experience and professionalism provided by Gloria Stewart and the Touchworks team.”
“Gloria is a seasoned professional whose expertise is a beacon for nonprofit organizations seeking to elevate their impact. With an illustrious track record, Gloria brings a unique blend of strategic vision, creativity, and a genuine passion for social causes.”
“Touchworks has really helped us maintain and grow our annual giving program. They know what works and what doesn’t and can make strategic recommendations on how to grow this aspect of our revenue. All a full-service consultancy, they were able to help support aspects of the campaign when we were short-staffed or managing absences, and attempting to thread this into a larger campaign effort. Gloria and Kris are fabulous to work with.”
“Gloria is a practical, no nonsense, get it done person. She’s effective and creative in her thinking, tactful in her approach and thus, when a client I was working with on Vancouver Island needed someone on-site, I turned to Gloria to be that person.
“Gloria came along at the right time when we were launching our fund development program. Her experience and insights have created the building blocks and development tools that are already increasing our revenues and laying a strong foundation for the future.”
“If you are looking for a marketing professional who will elevate your brand, generate exceptional results, and bring a winning mindset to the table, look no further than Gloria. She is a true gem in the industry, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.”
