What People Are Saying

We are proud to have had the following organizations, among many others, as part of our planned giving seminars:

"The whole Providence California planned giving team was able to attend the live Crescendo Comprehensive Program in Camarillo. We have eleven directors and managers covering 15 hospital foundations in California. Each of our Team members are at various levels in their planned giving skills. This was a great course to provide fundamental knowledge of the planned giving tools and the technical knowledge in using the Crescendo software. Charles and the whole Crescendo staff were very accommodating and helpful in all aspects of our experience. It was a great experience. It also served as a great team building experience to have the whole team together both in learning and in a social context. We have come away a stronger, closer, planned giving team. Thank you Crescendo."

— Philip D. Barker, J.D., CFRE

"This Crescendo Seminar showed me how valuable the combination of expert instruction and a feature-laden software package can be. The benefits of the class are immediate. During the session I found myself scribbling notes and reminders to call my clients with news that would have a direct benefit to them."

— Wayne Olson

"Attending Crescendo seminars is invaluable! I always come away with new marketing ideas, new problem solving ideas, new language and closing ideas! We really grow as a staff when we attend together and learn how to use the program to our best advantage."

— Glenn Pittsford

"What a wonderful seminar! It seems evident that excellence is what you do and how you do it is your goal. It is a "feather in my hat" to have been a privileged student under your tutoring. I continue to be amazed at what has gone into the creation of the Crescendo programs and what a benefit they are to all of us in the gift planning world. Crescendo and its services (and its quality people) are one of the great values of our times."

— Trenton Frost

"I just want to express my sincere appreciation to Charles and the whole team. I learned soooo much! You folks offer a marvelous service and really expand the resources of a small Planned Giving and Trust Services organization. In addition to the excellent training, I really appreciated the comfortable setting and your gracious hospitality."

— Thomas Murray
