We loved working with John! He encouraged us, strengthened our fundraising knowledge, and often stretched us to look at things from a unique perspective. We always looked forward to our scheduled time with John! Thank you for being you and making our experience such a positive experience!
- Tracy B, Michigan
I followed his advice, instruction, and insights to the letter and for the month of December, our donations had actually doubled from the past two Decembers and more than doubled on our normal months. He gave great insights on what donors really need to understand, acknowledgements they need, and best ways to communicate with them that we had never thought of in our 4 years as a charity. I found the experience invaluable and feel that anyone who gets the opportunity to work with John in a coaching / mentorship/ philanthropic manner should take full advantage of it!
- Shari L, Virginia

Our non-profit's fundraising metrics improved considerably in a year of coaching with John. He regularly brought innovative and insightful ideas that we might implement in our fundraising operations. Absolutely privileged to have worked with him!
- Brody V, Nebraska
John is extremely knowledgeable and current in the nonprofit fundraising space, in terms of both national trends and successful tactics. As a speaker, he shared contemporary best practices in a comfortable and personable way, with some laughs thrown in the mix. As a fundraising coach in the nonprofit capacity building space, he helped guide us well, as he really understands board governance needs.

John Gilchrist is a skilled fundraising professional who can even teach another skilled fundraising professional a few things! John has been a very effective fundraising mentor for me. As a CFRE myself with more than 30 years of experience, only a highly competent fundraiser was going to be a good match for me. John has been all that and more. John consistently went above and beyond in this role. Fundraising is just one of the hats that I wear and I haven't always been able to hold up my end of things, but fortunately John is forever patient. I strongly recommend John to anyone who is looking for assistance with fundraising. You can't go wrong with John!
