Success Stories

As we prepared for the most significant campaign in the De La Salle North Catholic High School’s history, The Varga Group was there with us every step of the way. We hired a consulting firm, and ended up with a trusted ally.

Mike Kelley, Partner, Haglund Kelley, LLP

We crushed our goals! Our overall goal was to increase revenue by 12% and we had a 27% increase! Deeply grateful to you bringing my team together and helping us build a solid fundraising plan. It  was a real gamechanger for us.

Bryan Martin, Executive Director Big City Mountaineers

Deciding to work with Amy is one of the best things I’ve done for my career.

Ashleigh De Villiers, VP for Advancement, De Le Salle North Catholic High School

Our team had a phenomenal experience with Amy and The Varga Group. We couldn’t have wished up a better consulting experience. Our major gifts fundraising has really taken off!

Anna Kurnizki, Director of Development, Community Warehouse

Amy is my go-to as a sounding board for working through organizational issues as well as my professional development. I’ve learned so much from Amy and am grateful to have her as a thought partner and executive coach.

Sarah Schwartz, Executive Vice President
Portland State University Foundation

The Varga Group helped us develop a successful campaign plan, but more importantly kept us focused on building the relationships that will last far beyond the campaign’s success. Their creativity and wealth of experience has made them an essential part of our campaign team.
