Elaine brings both accountability and a focused approach toward our fundraising program. Her experience, knowledge and skills help guide our efforts and build capacity that will last well into the future. I am fully confident in our ability to attain our ambitious goals thanks to Elaine and her professional, insightful approach to fund development.

Keegan Young, Development Director of the American Alpine Club

Elaine is the consummate professional. She is an experienced, intelligent and honest consultant who has greatly improved KSS’ ability to fundraise effectively. When out speaking to our constituents and supporters, Elaine left a very positive and lasting impact that served to further garner trust. Without Elaine’s guidance and support, KSS would be years behind in our capacity to both fundraise and make progress on a capital campaign. Working with Elaine has been an incredible opportunity.

Ellen Reid, Director of Keystone Science School

In surveys, people claim they would rather die than give a public speech or ask someone for money. Elaine’s workshop for our local nonprofits demonstrated how to plan a capital campaign, organize Board members and to make the ask. By the end, the emotional thermostat had moved in the room from dread to willingness.

Katharine Conover, Executive Director, Community Foundation of Jackson Hole

Walsh Carney Associates provided us with expertise and guidance during the most formative stages of our planning for a capital campaign. Elaine’s involvement kept us moving forward and held us accountable throughout a challenging phase.

The projects I have done with Elaine have given me courage, energy and enthusiasm to do the work of fundraising free from a sense of obligation, but rather filled with the spirit of giving.

I can attest that Elaine is committed to effective and collaborative processes to engage all sides and work toward resolution. She does this in a most unbiased and professional manner.

Without Elaine’s assistance, our capital campaign goal would have never been met.

Elaine consistently provided sound advice on every aspect of our campaign. We could not have asked for better service and we are very pleased with the relationship.
