You know you are talking to an expert when they make things simple and understandable. Geoffrey is that kind of expert. He doesn’t overwhelm you with jargon or busywork. He makes it easy to understand what fundraising truly is–which is building a network of relationships that support important work. And he does it with great empathy for those of us engaged in the difficult work of transforming a chorus of no’s into a few meaningful yes’s. I am grateful every day for his partnership and support–and count myself extremely lucky to have access to his wisdom.
