What former clients and friends have to say about Angela

  • “Angela is an achiever. She works hard and believes success comes from doing her homework and always being well prepared.

    I enjoy working with Angela for three reasons: Her work is always thorough, complete and on time; she is always thinking ahead; and she has the most positive attitude of anyone I know! Always polite and prepared, Angela is fearless in making requests.”

    – Pete Coors
    Chairman, Honoring the Legacy Campaign

  • "Angela is focused and follows up, and most importantly, does what she says she is going to do, with an eye on excellence throughout our process.

    She brings both fundraising and “friend raising” to the discussion, always with consideration given to the details of the process. She can communicate and articulate with prospective donors in a way that gives them confidence in their investment and the fulfillment of the legacy for their family. I can strongly recommend Angela without hesitation for her expertise.”

    – Doug Jones
    Chairman of the Board of Directors, Western Stock Show Association, Vice Chairman, Honoring the Legacy Campaign

  • "Angela is one of the most enthusiastic, effervescent personalities I have encountered in the world of fundraising.

    Her passion makes it impossible for anyone to tell her no. If you take her class, you will come away invigorated and informed on how to be a more effective professional.”

    – Hanna Skandera

  • "Every business owner knows how vital it is to stay in touch both with your ‘why’ and your vision.

    Knowing how easy it is to get lost in the day to day operations, coaching and, in particular coaching with Angela, has become a vital component in keeping our organization focused. With pre-scheduled check-ins both with myself and with my organization’s leaders, small issues are mitigated before they grow, vital business and growth decisions are handled real-time and I am able to view our progress with a present tense eye. Our particular coaching program with Angela ensures us a consistently proactive edge in a business climate too often mired by reactionary decision making.”

  • "Angela Lieurance is, hands down, the best fundraising professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with on fundraising projects in the community.

    I personally have been working in the non-profit community for over 32 years and have raised over $100 million in the Denver Community creating and producing events for non-profits.

    Although Angela is highly educated in this field, she is also a natural. She analyzes a situation quickly and I have watched her solve a multitude of challenges in a hour. Best of all she is great to work with and has a fun way of communicating.

    We are extremely lucky to have her in our community and I am lucky to call her my friend.”

    – Sharon Magness Blake

  • "I met Angela Lieurance when I was in great need of development support at the Global Down Syndrome Foundation (GLOBAL).

    A close and trusted friend recommended Angela and despite her very busy schedule Angela was able to make time for me and for GLOBAL. It was such a relief to have an expert take over the development reigns and start putting things in place, making asks right away, and suggesting NEW donors who she thought would be a great fit. When she believes in a cause there is no more formidable advocate and fundraiser to have in your corner. Angela also has an impressive marketing and strategic approach to her work coupled with a very high-touch way in which she helps manage donors. I am forever grateful to Angela for helping us meet our revenue goals that year and would count anyone lucky to have Angela on their team.”

  • Kelly Maher

    "I took Angela’s Fundraising MasterClass despite telling her, over and over, “I am not a good fundraiser.” But the truth is, if you believe in anything, you, too, must be a fundraiser.

    Angela has reminded me over the years: “No money? No mission.”

    So, even though “I am not a fundraiser,” I signed up for Angela’s class – mostly because I wanted to learn how to bottle whatever secret spark radiates from her. I also wanted to better understand the “how” of fundraising, because, for me, it’s always been something that the magical fundraising people did – shrouded in mystery.

    What I got from Angela was so much more than I expected. I didn’t just leave empowered to fundraise, I left with a clearer picture of the vision I’d been trying to hone for my project and myself. I finally am able to start to answer the question, “How will the world be a better place because of what I bring to it?”

    Not only did Angela curate a room full of powerful and interesting people I would not meet any other way, she created an environment where we could learn from her and each other.

    I hope to take the lessons from Master Class – creating thoughtful campaigns, understanding the difference between strategy and tactics, managing time, energy, and storytelling – and apply them to all aspects of my life.

    In the end, I didn’t figure out how to bottle Angela’s secret spark; I learned how to create a different spark inside myself. And because of her, I look forward to the fires it will light.”
