Catapult has generated qualified leads that have developed into meaningful planned gifts, delivering a strong return on our investment. Maria Healy has been exceptional to work with, responsive, attentive, and highly professional.

I highly recommend Catapult Fundraising for its professionalism, service, and proven results.”

“Catapult Fundraising has been a fantastic partner in relaunching and growing UMGC's Annual Giving telemarketing program. Since restarting the program in FY24, their team's personalized approach has helped us steadily strengthen our annual fund by increasing both our average gift and pledge rate year over year. Beyond the numbers, Catapult's team consistently delivers thoughtful, donor-centered conversations that reflect well on our institution, and the team is responsive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in our success. We're grateful for the partnership and look forward to continuing to grow this program together.”

“They were the only firm willing to stay with us from the feasibility study all the way through the public phase calling. One team, one accountable partner from start to finish.”
Capital Campaign Client
“Legacy Call was a gamechanger for us. As a small shop, it helped us reach a much wider audience of planned giving donors, and the response was incredible: several new gifts and a full pool of new prospects.”
Chief Philanthropy Officer, PBS KVIE
“Catapult's fractional officers seamlessly amplified our staff capacity. We grew our total donor households, increased funds raised from our mid-level base, and strengthened our major gifts pipeline. True partners, not just a vendor.”
Former Sr. Director of Development, Houston Symphony
“Catapult's multi-channel outreach, phone, text, and email woven into one plan, increased both donor participation and dollars raised. Their callers are exceptionally well-trained, authentic, and a true extension of our advancement team.”
