Sandra Ostead
Director of Development
“This is the best experience I’ve had with any vendor. By a lot. I’m extremely pleased with how attentive they’ve been to our vision, how they’ve identified opportunities in alignment with that vision that we hadn’t thought of, and how they’ve respected our timeline and budget. On top of that, they’re just been plain fun to work with.”
Jason Bellamy
EVP, Strategic Communications
“As a public media station, you always must stay “top of mind” with your donors. And, the best way to do that is to use the multiple tools available in your toolbox. With Allegiance Group’s support, we expanded our multifaceted campaigns, adding robust digital and email programs in addition to texting campaigns, in support of our membership mailings, resulting in our best fundraising year ever in FY21!”
