testimonials

 Funding Innovation had worked with Mike House when he was CEO of the Stollery Foundation, and we regarded Mike as one of the most innovative, creative, and supportive Hospital Foundation CEOs with whom we had the pleasure and opportunity to work.

I approached Mike to discuss possibly engaging Bayford House Consulting. Our aim was to develop a strategy for Funding Innovation to expand the use of our proven art easel fundraising medium to other hospital foundations within the Province of Alberta.

Mike did not disappoint. Within a relatively short period of time, Mike developed a comprehensive strategy to make hospital foundations aware of the program and to ideally adopt it as a no-cost, no-risk way to generate additional non-designated donation income.

 As a new member of the nonprofit community, Mike graciously provided a consultation on our fundraising campaign, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Mike is a consummate professional with a deep understanding of the fundraising and nonprofit/charity landscape. He provided innovative ideas for donor engagement, web design user interface suggestions for better donor contribution and provided insight how to craft messages to potential donors. In addition, Mike has a profound empathetic skill of connecting and providing positive angle, which is very encouraging. If you are looking for a consultant who is knowledgeable, creative, and deeply committed to your cause, Mike is the person to hire.
