– Svitlana Kuts, Founder, Institute of Fundraising Professionals, Ukraine

"Ken covers all the ABCs of strategic fundraising. He writes well and in a detailed fashion about both rationale for good planning and then HOW to process and DO it."

– William Reese, CEO,International Youth Foundation, USA

"Ken Phillips helped me through multiple strategic plans with a national nonprofit organization that I led over the course of 14 years. Several of the strategy sessions were extraordinarily complicated with changing staff, difficult financial challenges and major organizational transformation. The strategic plans were critical to the success of the organization. Not only did Ken’s planning process help us become a more healthy sustainable organization, but it helped me personally as a leader see the value of well-done strategic planning. The tools that he shared with us and the process that he employed remain with me today 20 years later. I'm forever indebted to Ken for his deep passion for nonprofit success and supportive approach and mentorship."

–  Rebecca Morley, Former Executive Director, National Center for Healthy Housing, USA
