Testimonials
Diane Eidman“The Gottesman Fund, a private family foundation, was seeking to create a new program and Marian conducted a series of focus groups for us. She impressed us with her unique blend of strategic thinking, professionalism,warmth and sensitivity to the clients’ needs. Her skills as facilitator are exceptional: she gains the trust of her audience, asks the right questions, and draws incisive conclusions. Marian’s contributions to our project were invaluable!”
Pam Scott“Marian Stern is a strategic thinker whose advice is informed by her experiences as a corporate grantmaker, college professor, and consultant to many diverse nonprofit agencies and foundations. She works with all stakeholders to assess your organization’s needs, and then to develop a meaningful, results-oriented action plan that is aligned with your mission and vision.”
Beverly Lynn“Marian Stern has been a wonderful resource for our agency. She has facilitated the Programs for Parents strategic planning sessions and worked with me and the Board to ensure that we are on the right path for optimum governance.”
Lee Rosenfeld“Rutgers Hillel is truly blessed to work with Marian Stern on a number of very important grant initiatives that the organization is developing. In addition to providing strong counsel on the content and construct of these grants Marian also facilitated separate strategic focus groups that helped advance the case for support for each grant proposal. We consider her to be the best in her field and areas of expertise.”
Mark P. Kesslen“Marian Stern worked and continues to work with the Community Chest of Englewood, Tenafly and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on a variety of efforts directed at re-positioning the Chest to become a more effective fundraising organization. Marian developed the process and brought our Planning Committee through a series of exercises that resulted in our board having new energy around our annual campaign, new strategies for cultivating donors, and a new message for our donors and prospects. Marian has unique expertise in working with organizations, which both fundraise and make grants; she provided us with a strategy that was unique and creative. On top of that, she was a pleasure to work with.”
