Wow, just the leadership needed at this time! In a world, where uncertainty shakes us about, environmental disasters come thick and fast and economic progress has slowed except for sales of military equipment, Kimberly is offering us fresh insights into how to make unique sustainable partnerships. Long term partnerships with repeat donations, opportunities for collaborative weaving of multi-layered giving to create a systematic approach to building outcomes that count. This book is a must for my top shelf reads this Spring.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the first pages of your book, laughing and nodding along as so much of it resonates with my day-to-day work. Your refreshing take and the simplicity with which you address the fear of the ask really struck a chord and aligns beautifully with my work as a MG consultant and advisor, especially when working with Board members who often look like they’d prefer to disappear under the table when we talk about 'the ask'. In fact, I don't even use that term anymore, I actually phrase it much along the same lines as you 'getting to the yes' or sometimes 'getting to the no', which can be equally important!

I wanted to congratulate you on capturing the essence of our work. Your words were sincere, authentic, and donor-focused. I plan to use your books with several clients. There isn't a better resource to guide fundraising that I've seen in our field.

The FLCC Foundation held its first-ever Board Retreat. We came prepared with the assigned reading - "Getting to the Yes: A Board Member's Guide to Philanthropic Leadership" by Kimberly Dye, M.S., M.Ed. This book is worth picking up if you serve on a board.
