“Carl has played a critical role in developing a strategic approach to engage our fund-raising to a level that has paid significant results. Carl’s advice and expertise have been invaluable. He developed a roadmap for our IPTAY/External Affairs organization and provided strategic direction for the successful completion of our West End Zone Campaign. He is quite simply, the best!“

“Carl Beard’s qualifications and abilities are without question among the finest in professional fund-raising. He is distinguished, however, by a depth of personality forged from experience as well as a profound capacity to holistically understand institutions and the people associated with them. His greatest skill lies in positioning an entire organization for success. His contributions to Colonial Williamsburg cannot be adequately acknowledged.”

“With two new staff members in annual giving roles and little free time in my schedule I turned to Carl to help mentor and train these young men. They learned how to set realistic goals, plan and implement their work and evaluate their results. The money they raised during their first year exceeded our previous year’s results and more than covered Carl’s fees. This helped set these young staff members on a course to be productive development officers I could depend on for years to come. 

“Carl Beard served as Campaign Management Consultant during our very successful “Gold Campaign” in which we exceeded our $40 million goal, ON TIME AND IN BUDGET! Additionally, he provided an organizational assessment &roadmap for fundraising that is serving us well today. He stays with you to ensure results and provides the kind of guidance everyone wants to make sure the job gets done. His excitement for doing better development work is infectious.”

“Carl’s strategic, organizational, communication and human relations skills are unsurpassed by any fund raiser I’ve worked with during my thirty five years in museum management. I recommend Carl for any non profit that is seeking a skilled, conscientious and hard working fund raiser.”

"Carl consulted with Hospice of the Upstate Board of Directors and Leadership team during a time of transition. The organizational assessment he conducted provided insight that created an opportunity for growth and change. His involvement in creating the strategic plan, increasing board involvement, fundraising and marketing has been dynamic and the benefits continue. Our fundraising has matured since his involvement with our organization. He is first class.”
