DISCOVER WHAT OUR CLIENTS LOVE
"Kept Us Focused"
"Our Health Foundation had Colleen, from COA Coaching & Consulting lead
us in a long-term planning session. She started with an advanced
questionnaire to establish our concerns and lead us in an all-day session.
Her guidance kept us focused on topic, and her pointed questions kept us
all engaged. The questions, without any bias, helped our group reach our
own conclusion. I would highly recommend COA Coaching & Consulting to
any group needing assistance in developing a plan for their future."
Dale Martin, President Board of Directors
"In a Heartbeat!"
“I have high praise for Colleen Ostoforoff. She brought intimate knowledge of the arts sector and considerable expertise with fundraising to our capital funding campaign for a new roof on our rehearsal hall. Her deep familiarity with protocols and best practices for fundraising were key to our success in surpassing our expectations for the campaign. In addition, her capacity to focus on the big picture while attending to important daily details of donor recognition were most impressive. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
Linda McMullen, President Board of Directors
"Needed to Raise Funds Quickly!"
"Our organization found ourselves in need of raising funds to replace our building’s roof. Colleen proved to be the perfect person to help us achieve our financial goals. With Colleen’s funding for the arts expertise, she guided us to apply for a
wide variety of local grants that were geared for our specific financial needs, found Canadian-wide online fundraising platforms that we could apply for, and she helped with the word crafting for these grants so that we presented our organization in the best, favourable light.
Colleen maintained a high sense
professionalism and enlightened us on the rules and regulations with regard to receiving and acknowledging donations, how to keep a financial record for each specific donation and donor, and the expectation of recognition from our larger donors. She was always the voice of calm and reason in discussions where
organization members did not see eye to eye and where discussion would get off track. Through Colleen’s encouragement and knowledge of available grant money, we surpassed our financial goal in 4 short months and anticipate moving
forward with the building of our new roof this spring."
Thecla Anderson, former Fundraising Committee Member
"Collaborate With a Professional"
"To collaborate with Colleen Ostoforoff is to collaborate with a professional. She sees the larger picture, but doesn't miss any of the details. She is focused and committed to achieving whatever goals are articulated. She brings a breadth of experience and a depth of knowledge to the table, and shares both without reservation. To collaborate with her means the job will get done, and get done well.
