Chailee Richards

Fundraising Marketing Specialist

Chailee's team came to me highly recommended by someone I trust so I knew they would be good. However, I was completely blown away by their ability to not only quickly understand our cause but to communicate it with a wonderful combination of need, warmth, empathy and emotion. Small wonder then that our Tax Appeal was outstanding, experiencing a 300% growth year-on-year.
