Testimonials
Elizabeth
came to us through several sources, all of whom raved about her
expertise and spirit. In six months she has helped us reshape our
foundation from the ground up, turning our sporadically managed
operation into a highly functional foundation with an awards program
and many opportunities to grow and expand. Elizabeth is a joy to
work with and is simultaneously a leader and a supportive team player.
She is very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. Working
with Elizabeth, simply put, has been extremely rewarding and a joy.

Elizabeth
Share has been a remarkable help to us. When we were
under pressure to present a demanding project to
several foundations, we asked Elizabeth for guidance.
Within a few days, she sized up the concept and wrote
a compelling letter of inquiry that succinctly described
the project and highlighted its merits. Elizabeth
later helped us plan a large benefit and provided
expert advice on other activities to widen our circle
of supporters.Elizabethis a writer, a thinker and
a gifted analyst. Beyond all that, she is a delight to work with
and a great advocate and supporter of the non-profit community.

We have
engaged Elizabeth Share to work with our staff, board and outside partners
on a variety of projects. She is highly professional, possesses
deep knowledge about managing a successful nonprofit, and brings exceptional
warmth to her work. Elizabeth’s insights into the needs of our growing
organization have enabled us to move the Foundation forward, despite a
wide range of challenges. She easily identified those challenges, and presented
workable suggestions to overcome them, which we have adopted to great success.
Most importantly, Elizabeth provided us objective guidance
and reassurance during a time of major transition for the organization.
Through a combination of respectful encouragement, humor and intelligence,
she assisted us in bringing the foundation to the next level. We are grateful
to be able to consider Elizabeth a partner in our work.

We
engaged Elizabeth as a fundraising consultant. She spent a full day
with our board and her input was invaluable. She analyzed our current
and historical fundraising, suggested ways to involve our board with
our donors, and helped us generate many new ideas to improve our fundraising
capacity. Because of Elizabeth's easy manner and good humor, we not
only learned a great deal, but enjoyed it as well. Every one of our
board members feels that Elizabeth helped us become more effective
and professional.”

I
decided to create a small family foundation for a close friend on
the occasion of her 50th birthday. I hired Elizabeth to design,
navigate, and implement the legal and financial arrangements, which
she performed with exceptional competence and sensitivity. But that
was only a portion of the benefits of my working with her. Elizabeth
listens with a huge and compassionate heart. She deeply understands
what it means to Give (capital G intended!). Her talents run deep
and were essential to my being able to fulfill this dream.
