As an organization constantly pushing boundaries in search of bold new strategies to end gender and race-based hate, discrimination, and violence, working with Gina and Anne on prospecting and development in support of innovative solutions has been a recipe for success. They are thoughtful, astute, well-connected, and fearless in their approach to development, and their perseverance and determination produces concrete results. The depth and quality of their relationships with donors, philanthropic representatives, and key decision-makers speaks volumes to the trust and confidence they have earned among funders and nonprofit leaders over many decades. It is an honor to work with this dynamic duo on the development of the Courage Museum, an initiative of Futures Without Violence.
Rachael Smith Fals, Senior Vice President, Futures Without Violence & Director of the Courage Museum

"Reiss² Advisors played a transformational role in our organization by building a vetted database of prospect funders, leveraging their own network to support our fundraising goals and advising us in strategic direction for our $50 million comprehensive campaign to advance gender and racial justice so that women & girls+ of color across Minnesota can thrive. Not only did they offer broad reaching expertise, but they could also speak to trends and landscape shifts across the US to help guide us in our own strategies and messaging. I cannot emphasize enough how meaningful it was to not only have them as subject matter experts but also knowing that there was values alignment.”
Nadia Siddiqui, Vice President of Advancement, The Women’s Foundation of Minnesota

"Thank you to [Reiss² Advisors] for being the ones to encourage us to apply for Skoll World Forum. It has paid off and I know we planted many seeds which will germinate over time to yield more fruit for NYF. You two are bold and visionary yourself and it’s fun to see you in action as you navigated and connected your way through the week. I’m feeling more inspired and motivated than I have in a long time."
Ryan Walls, Executive Director of Nepal Youth Foundation
