“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.”
Daiva Jocius, CFREDirector, Resource Development
