What our clients say

We love our clients. Here’s what they say about us.

“Working with Creative Capacity Network has greatly increased organizational capacity and learning around fundraising and financial planning. Working closely with their expert team, A Growing Culture has been able to meet objectives we only dreamed about several years ago. In addition to their broad knowledge, they are always there when you need them -- ready to step in and advise in challenging and dynamic situations. In one instance, our team needed urgent support and thought partnership around how to best engage an important donor. Their team was available immediately and provided the feedback necessary to bring this engagement to the next phase. They went the extra mile to help us. We highly recommend Creative Capacity Network!”

— Freya Yost, Managing Director, A Growing Culture

“Working with Creative Capacity Network has been a huge part of the success of Self-Evident Education. Every time I tell people about all of the work we have been able to get done in a short period of time they are consistently amazed. The work of Creative Capacity Network has been instrumental in the amazement that people are feeling. From the very outset of working with Creative Capacity Network they sought to fully understand the vision and the mission of the work that we are doing. They have held that in the center of all of the work they have done to steward us through the process of raising the funds necessary to bring a huge and expansive vision into fruition.”

— Michael Lawrence Riddell, Executive Director, Self-Evident Education

”The work Double Edge Theatre did with Creative Capacity Network was transformative. It ran the whole spectrum: from the visionary, to the planning, to the administrative. Creative Capacity Network helps leaders lead as well as connect that leadership to the daily aspects of implementation. The impact of this investment has been far reaching in terms of building a clear, compelling, and long-term approach to building and elevating our community of support. Last but certainly not least, CCN, brings the most important resource of all—the wisdom of relationships.”

— Matthew Glassman, Co-Artistic Director, Double Edge Theatre

“Creative Capacity Network is the real deal. In my 10+ years of running non-profit organizations, I’ve worked with dozens of development consultants. In retrospect, quite frankly, very few of them were worth investing in and saw themselves as self-declared coaches.

Creative Capacity Network, on the other hand, actually did things to help our organization grow.  Because of their help and guidance and ease to work with, ShalomLearning was able to create several successful seven figure, multi-year grants. They are talented writers and editors and understand the field as good as anyone out there. I highly recommend working with them, if you are lucky enough to get a few hours of their time.”

— Josh Troderman, CEO, ShalomLearning

“I was so lucky to have Lou Cove coach me through the process of becoming a fundraiser, as my role as Executive Director of Girls Leadership evolved. I never felt alone as I learned from Lou how to build a fundraising strategy, prepare for conversations with major donors, build true and lasting authentic relationships with donors that were never transactional, steward the relationships --  all the while bringing my board along on that learning curve with me. I looked forward to our weekly calls where we worked together to triple Girls Leaderships' fundraising success.”
