"Patton did an excellent job facilitating our board retreat, and it was wonderful to see the board so engaged. I know the members really enjoyed it and we so appreciate how he challenged them! We're grateful for the expertise, insights and professionalism." 

"As a foundation working across North Carolina, we continue to see potential for our efforts to grow and improve. On multiple occasions, Patton and his team have been our go-to resource for nonprofit strategic planning, search advisory services and fundraising counsel. I highly recommend them!"

"Our recent effort to get our board more plugged in was a great success thanks to Patton's facilitation and creative role-plays. The board members learned new skills, including hands-on cultivation techniques that left them fired up and ready to be put to work!"

"We wanted to increase our support for small and emergent arts & culture nonprofits and knew that many of our newly funded partners needed nonprofit essentials such as accounting, fundraising, and board management. Leighton and Patton designed great content that met the grantees' specific needs, helped them see that development and growth were attainable and ultimately helped lift them up for success. We really enjoyed working with them but perhaps most importantly, so did our grantees!"
