    – Rouane Itani, Board member

  • “The thought of fundraising for any Board is scary! During our Board Retreat, Ayda was able to take that discussion and make it fun, give direction, and show all of us that this task can be easy! We were able to walk out with tactics and samples to use and make fundraising a positive and successful task.”

    – Kylie McCleaf, MA, CPRP, Chief Executive Officer, Family Services, Inc.

  • “As a newly developed nonprofit organization, our board of directors needed an expert to guide us, provide insight as to what we were doing wrong and what we needed to do right. Ayda Sanver traveled from Maryland to Connecticut to help strengthen our board and organization. We went in clueless as to what the outcomes would be of our board retreat but we also went in optimistic with the reality that we needed help. Thank you so much to Ayda Sanver for helping us leave the board retreat with confidence, excitement, motivation, strategies, advice and a list of action items to increase the quality of Phenomenal I Am, Inc. (PIA). As the Executive Director of PIA I highly recommend the services of Ayda Sanver.”

  • "I briefly met Ayda at a local conference. From the moment I approach her, her smile told me there is something very special about her. My team had already been over to her table and determined that I needed her book "Tag, Your It! Now Raise Us Some Money." I bought it, I read it and I loved it! I've been working on my non-profit for several years and have read many informational books. Most of the books I've read I've skimmed through because they are technical and impersonal. Reading Ayda's book only took a day, because when I picked it up I immediately connected with the writer. Ayda's book has personality, style and an original feel with information I needed but have not read in any other book! Ayda, you are a skilled coach, and it comes out through your writing. Thank you, I wish you much success through this books journey."

    - Denise Wilkins, Founder, The Justin L. Davis Foundation

  • Redesigning a new website is always a challenge, but this was especially the case for MCCH because our previous site was created about 10 years ago. Ayda deftly guided us to re-imagine our site, how to create a site map that was intuitive, and writing compelling copy to engage our community in our work. She also brought the right web developer into the project to execute our vision and then helped us manage the project through completion. I’m grateful for all of her hard work to make sure our new site truly represents the professionalism of our organization and the impact we are making in the community.”

    – Debbie Ezrin, Director of Development and Communications.

  • “The Tree House was desperately in need of fundraising and development expertise. We asked Ayda for her help. She spent several hours with us reviewing what we had done in the past and how we could get the word out about our non-profit organization in a more effective manner. She had an incredible insight and many, many great ideas. We are currently in the process of implementing many of those ideas and look forward to seeing the results and working with Ayda in the future!”

    – Nina Blecher, Outreach Coordinator

  • “Ayda is a rock star. She provided both high level strategic insight and tactical guidance to my company Livability Project as we launched our website and workshops. Her commitment to excellence and personal touch were extremely valuable in building our brand.”

    – Dave Feldman, Principal, Co-founder Livability Project, Founding Executive Director of Bethesda Green

  • “I would like to recommend Ayda Sanver for her expert advice to our foundation. She not only recognized our challenges, but was able to teach and guide on how to effectively use our website and social media, and donor development. I am so inspired that I’m looking forward to reading her book. I certainly would recommend her for any training on these topics.”

    –Anne Lwenya, Founder

  • “Ayda is really talented and gave us a clear roadmap to develop our fundraising operation.”
