Planned Giving Breakthroughs
Testimonials When Lorri began her consulting career, I immediately enlisted Lorri to help us design and implement a Major Gifts Campaign. With Lorri’s guidance and leadership, we launched the Diamond Ladder Campaign. This campaign was Women’s American ORT first real major gift campaign. It was initially met with some skepticism, given that we were asking for a substantial financial commitment, as well as a minimum three year commitment. But, with Lorri’s leadership, we forged ahead and today, the Diamond Ladder Campaign is bringing in millions of dollars. Lorri is the consummate professional who can get a job done despite organizational challenges. She works well with both staff and lay leaders alike and fully dedicates herself to the organization for which she works. I would recommend her, hands down, to any organization who wishes to succeed.
I had the pleasure of working with Lorri when we were both employed at Women’s American ORT. She served as the National Director of Planned Giving and was primarily responsible for taking a fledging department and creating a highly functioning division. It is because of her vision, perseverance and persistence that the department continues to bring in millions of dollars annually. When she began, the concept of Planned Giving was little understood by lay leaders and staff, while today it is accepted and embraced as a critical fundraising arm of the organization, much to her credit.
