JESSICA’S HOUSE
“Mark Sherman’s guidance during our capital campaign was key to our success. We exceeded our $6M campaign goal and now support children and families in our new home for Jessica’s House, a grief support center in Turlock, CA. Mark provided expert advice with a personal and effective strategy that helped us connect with key donors. We continue to lean on Mark’s creative approach with our long-term fundraising plan for sustainability and consider him an important partner to achieve our annual goals.”

Executive director
Bethlehem Inn
"Bethlehem Inn was in need of an experienced capital campaign strategist who could help to shape and lead a non-traditional campaign, replacing and expanding the homeless shelter that has been operating out of a 1960s motel. Mark Sherman was just that person. He helped educate staff, volunteers, and board of directors while shaping the campaign’s presentation, designing its roadmap, and helping to keep the campaign staff and volunteers on task and accountable. A nine million dollar campaign is historic in Bend, Oregon. We have met every milestone and are well on our way to full campaign success thanks to Mark."

"Working with Mark Sherman has uplifted our fundraising in so many ways. He's helped me set up our major donor program and build the business model to scale our new program. He is excellent at high level strategy, major donor fundraising, and grant relationships. I've learned both the how and the what from him. We don't have a development director, and I've come to rely on him for high level strategy. He's always a meaningful guide through our most challenging situations."
