“The Sharpe Group training came at a perfect time for our front-line fundraising team. We had a good foundation to build on, with much of the team having worked on traditional bequests, but they had less experience with more complex gifts and different lifetime income vehicles. Sharpe Group made the content approachable, interesting and participatory. They were attentive to questions and tailored the content to fit our group. This training accelerated our work with donors, and I’m confident it will help enable future success.”
