Eulogy For An Earthquake: Gran Boukan, Haiti & Development ‘Aid’

I look at the Melton Foundation as “Before TakeTwo” and “After TakeTwo”. Before TakeTwo helped us, the Foundation did not have a clear brand nor did we have strong marketing and development strategies.

TakeTwo has been great to work with. Both willing and able, they have helped keep us focused on the right things in terms of getting our development and fundraising activities up and running, and have made a real difference in helping us step up the quality and nature of our externally focused communication materials.

—Diggi Thomson, President of the Board of Directors, You Gotta Believe! Adopting Older Kids and Youth

“I highly recommend Stephanie and TakeTwo Services. HabCenter is 40 years old, and she was able to take our fundraising to the next level. Stephanie adapted her approach to support our needs, and her strong nonprofit experience and analytical thinking showed throughout the process. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable with a warm and personable style.”

—Bob DiRocco, Executive Director, HabCenter
