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. We’d happily TakeTwo more!

“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

Working with Take Two was not only effective but enjoyable! They looked carefully and listened closely. Bix “got” us and what we needed. A very productive and pleasurable partnership over many years!
