Services led Crossnore School through its planning, feasibility
and successful implementation of our largest capital campaign in
our long, storied history of service to children and families.
Their experience and expertise guided our campaign leadership and

are so many strengths of Capital
Development Services! They are incredibly knowledgeable
about the nonprofit sector and what other organizations are doing,
which stimulates collaboration and reduces duplicated
efforts. They know corporate and foundation giving histories
and the major players in various areas, both locally and
nationally. They provide detailed counsel on all components
of a successful campaign, whether it's capital, endowment, or
annual. Their counselors aid you every step of the way."

"Capital
Development Services' counselors are always very well prepared and
thoroughly dedicated to our fundraising efforts. As we
continue to labor, in what has been a challenging economic
environment, the technical assistance that their talented
colleagues have provided has been invaluable to our success, much
like the Food Bank of North Carolina Breaking Bread Campaign."

our first major capital campaign, we realized that we needed the

anyone."

"North Carolina Giving: The
Directory of the State's Foundations is a gold mine of data. It lists
foundations' financial data, histories, staffing, directors, grant guidelines and grant
recipients. The definitive directory of the state's foundations, North
Carolina Giving has become a user's manual for North Carolina's nonprofit
sector."
Todd Cohen,
former Editor,
Philanthropy Journal of North Carolina

"North Carolina Giving: The
Directory of the State's Foundations is the most informative and comprehensive
resource material available. It can save countless hours of research time and is an
invaluable tool for prospect research and in preparing grant proposals. The
1999
Edition represents a major resource addition to our library."
Bunnie Collura, Director of Donor
Services,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"No other directory provides such a complete
picture of grant resources in the state. Granseekers are blessed on two
counts: the wealth of foundation and corporate resources in North Carolina, and the
availability of Capital Development Services' thoroughly researched and well-written
directories."
Steve Sumerford, Library Director,
Glenwood Public Library, Greensboro, NC

"As a former librarian, I appreciate the
organized, comprehensive layout of Georgia Giving. As a nonprofit
executive, I am thrilled that someone has finally taken the time to put out such a
high-quality, affordable reference that will save organizations valuable time and energy
in their fundraising efforts."

Nonprofit Resource Center, Atlanta, GA

"The Foundation Center's Atlanta office, which
serves nonprofits throughout the Southeast, has copies of Virginia Giving, North
Carolina Giving, and Georgia Giving in its library collection, and we have found
all of them to be very useful, thorough and conveniently arranged. We know firsthand
the benefit to our patrons of Capital Development Services' directories."
Pattie Johnson, Director,
The Foundation Center, Atlanta, GA
