| Client Testimonials |
 | Ed Harris - University of Denver
Vice Chancellor, University Advancement | | Hands down, Dini Partners is the best firm I have ever worked with. They are client-oriented, see the big picture, and are involved at every level of our campaign planning efforts. Our staff trusts them implicitly and sees them not as outside consultants, but as equals, a part of our senior staff, a part of our family. I cannot speak highly enough about them and can state unequivocally that we would not have been as successful without them. |
Karla Wigley - Episcopal School of Dallas
Director of Development
Dini Partners has played an integral role in the successful development of our $30 million building project. The firm’s counsel and commitment have proven invaluable in developing both our planning and fundraising efforts.
 | Dr. Roland DeRenzo - Colorado Springs
Christian Schools
Superintendent of Schools/President of Handprints | We retained Dini Partners to perform an external audit and assessment of both our department and our programs. As a result of their work we are more focused, more effective as an organization, and have dramatically improved our donor cultivation and advancement programs. Because of Dini we have a more clearly defined, more achievable pathway for our future.
Dini Partners consultants are consummate professionals. They are extremely knowledgeable and are, I believe, especially talented in being able to both see the big picture and translating that into the context of the client’s programs and capabilities.
Dini exceeded our expectations on every measure. Working as our partners, they delivered an ROI that was both outstanding and of long-term value. I recommend them wholeheartedly. |
 | Rod Ginther - Goodwill Industries/Dallas
President | I see Dini Partners not as our consultants, but as our partners.
I appreciate the fact that they take nothing for granted. They looked at our plans with fresh eyes and caused us to question and rethink our assumptions. We were especially impressed with how much time they spent with our staff, our board, and those needing our services, to really understand us and our mission.
They worked with us to develop the campaign strategy and then, because they know the Dallas market so well, on how to present the campaign to the donor community. A measure of what a good job they did helping us accomplish the goals for our first campaign is that we hired them again for our second campaign, to help us raise $22 million.
We do exactly what Dini tells us to do. They absolutely know what they are talking about. I highly recommend them.

 | Sukey Voscamp - Episcopal High School
Director of Advancement | | Working with Dini Partners has been a highly productive collaboration. I value them as true partners whose contributions to our strategic planning and fundraising programs have made a remarkable difference in our ability to accomplish our goals. Their people are knowledgeable, experienced, committed to our mission, and a pleasure to work with. |
 | Lisa Snider - Colorado Ballet
Former Executive Director | Dini Partners is a remarkable firm. They are outcome oriented and fully committed to the ballet and our mission. They have devised a very effective process to recruit board members and then developed a tailored retreat to train the board and committee chairs. I particularly value their ability to assess where a group is in terms of skills and cohesion, and then to move that group to the next level of performance.
Of course the key is their people. They are smart, experienced and are committed to what they do. Because of the Dini Partners team, we are a better organization. We continue to work with them and learn from them. I would recommend them without hesitation. |
 | Richard Saunders -
Saunders Construction
Chairman of the Board and Treasurer | I have known and worked with Dini Partners for over 20 years and in my opinion, they are the best in the business.
Because my work with them has spanned several organizations, I have been able to see them consistently apply their remarkable combination of knowledge, insight, and strategic leadership to produce outstanding results for their clients.
The Dini people know the market, they know the donors to make key connections, they are totally involved and committed to their clients, and they have an extraordinary work ethic.
It has been a personal and professional pleasure knowing and working with Dini and I would recommend them as the best organization to provide strategic planning, as well as program and leadership development services.
