Maureen Jersak Director of Gift Planning The Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield - Cape Girardeau Springfield, MO |
Our planned giving web presence is a great tool. Yes, I still mail out some brochures, but now when prospects call I refer them to my website to get the information they’re looking for immediately. Our VirtualGiving site has become our go-to guide for setting up a planned gift. The gift descriptions are friendly and accessible, and I know that I have my prospects’ undivided attention when they’re reading about the benefits of a planned gift. The VirtualGiving team was very responsive to my needs, and I recommend them and their products to my colleagues. |
Ann Finholt Director of Planned Giving Rebrook School West Hartford, CT |
Thank you all so much for Renbrook’s wonderful planned giving site. Not only does it look terrific but it has levels of information that would have been very difficult for us to achieve on our own. We are very pleased. |
Lawrence P. Johnson Director of Gift Planning Saint Mary’s University of MN Winona, MN |
It was a real joy working with VirtualGiving! They were very willing to assist me through the entire process from providing copy to picture selection. I am pleased to say that the service did not stop after our site went live. VirtualGiving’s staff have been very generous in providing me with ideas to both market my planned giving program and website. If you are looking for a "value-added" product that will make your program competitive in the 21st century, I suggest you take a serious look at VirtualGiving. |
Glen Belden National Director of Planned Giving Food for the Poor Coconut Creek, FL |
As an organization providing emergency relief to the poorest of the poor, we rely on cash gifts and in kind donations for our daily operations. But for our long-term sustenance, we realized we had to establish a strong planned giving marketing program. We realized that VirtualGiving, with its philosophy and the tools it provides, was the one vendor we could rely on. They have yet to say no to any one of my requests, and taking their marketing advice has helped me be a better steward of the funds our donors have provided to relieve the suffering of the poorest of His children. |
R. Rothrock Menge Senior Vice-President First Union Securities Columbia, SC |
A significant part of my practice involves working with non-profit organizations specifically in the area of planned giving. I’ve worked with VirtualGiving on behalf of multiple clients, and have found that they understand the two realities facing non-profits: the need to spread their message and the need to stay within a marketing budget. Every site they create is fresh, compelling, and realistic -- and is also delivered on time, on budget, and with full client input. VirtualGiving is a strong ally in the battle for prospects’ attention and consideration. |
Michael S. Rhodes Director, Office of Gift Planning Spelman College Atlanta, GA |
I had already worked with VirtualGiving in my last position at the Archdiocese of Boston. When I was given carte blanche to design the planned giving program at Spelman, I already knew your team would be an important ingredient to our success. The fact that you make the site easy to navigate for my prospective donors is a big plus. People are impatient, especially when they browse the web. Since you make the information easy to find, and make planned giving simple and friendly, it makes it easier to talk to my prospects because they are already predisposed to give. I have been delighted with your responsiveness to Spelmans needs. I highly recommend your service to anyone who is seeking to develop a top-flight planned giving website. |
Jane Jonesco Director of Gift Planning Oberlin College Oberlin, OH |
Oberlin is pursuing an ambitious capital campaign, and emphasizing our strong planned giving presence has been very important to us. VirtualGiving gave us the tools we needed to expand our marketing to reach our sophisticated prospects, who are using the Internet more and more. We are pleased with the high quality of the content VirtualGiving provides, as well as their ability to present the information in a creative and interesting way. We are especially pleased with the Interactive GiftTree that allows people to experiment with how different vehicles will work for them. We also like their new, rotating Oberlin pictures on our home page (which keep the site from looking static). |
Melodie Knighten National Director, Planned Giving Volunteers of America Alexandria, VA |
Virtual giving has made our [Volunteers of America] website marketing transition virtually painless and seamless... so much so that our local offices want to enjoy the same look as our national website pages for planned giving. We are grateful to have such a cutting edge tool in our toolkit! |
James M. Wood Advancement and Administration Christ Church Episcopal Parish, School and Endowment Corp. Greenville, SC |
VitualGiving is a great tool for Christ Church Episcopal Parish, School and Endowment Corp. It builds value and curiosity by letting the donor explore options for tax wise giving. As an added benefit, new philanthropist gain confidence and communicate more effectively with knowledge. This self-taught education saves time and resources, for both the individual and the advancement staff, and enables charity beyond what one traditionally thinks is possible. |
Keith Pickerill Director of Gift Planning Wycliffe Bible Translators of Canada, Inc. Calgary , Canada |
This website represented the only one of its kind in Canada. There was no one in Canada for us to turn to to get this kind of quality website and ongoing service commitment. The team VirtualGiving at had to carefully research Canadian law and produced an accurate and informative website for Wycliffe. It took a lot of work. They were both proactive and very responsive and were a joy to work with. |
Joan Riggert Director of Planned Giving and Stewardship Bellarmine University Louisville, Kentucky |
The next step for our Planned Giving program was to step up our education of donors using technology. Many of our alums and retired friends of the University were requesting information from me by e-mail. Allowing them to review proposals and receive planned giving information online was truly our next step. Following attendance at the NCPG conference and learning more about marketing planned gifts I contacted Virtual Giving. In less than 3 months, they presented me various options and sample pages that fit not only my budget, but were not cumbersome to review and presented the material that I wanted our donors to have. I have been very pleased. |
Scott M. O’Connell Director of Gift Planning The Heritage Foundation Washington, DC |
Thank you for delivering our planned giving website on time, and on budget. The information is accurate and compelling, and will help The Heritage Foundation carry through our mission. Thanks again for going the extra mile for us. |
Susan Decker Thomas Director of Planned Giving The Binghamton University Foundation Binghamton, NY |
Thank you for making it so easy to provide excellent planned giving information, in a comprehensive format, and at a refreshingly low price! [The Binghamton University Foundation] site looks great! |
