When we began working with Catapult, our fundraising goal was $15 million. The Catapult team brought unparalleled energy, insight, and strategy to our campaign. They took the time to understand our mission, tailored their approach to our unique challenges, and engaged our donor base with genuine care. Their hands-on guidance helped us connect deeply with our supporters and coached our Capital Campaign committee members to make the ask.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Catapult for the past four years, during which I consistently experienced exceptional customer service and strong annual fund fundraising results. Their outreach system, donor research, and thoughtful recommendations have been invaluable to our Development efforts at Theatre Under The Stars.
From securing a $10,000 bequest to cultivating recurring $50 gifts, and everything in between, the results have been measurable and meaningful.
Beyond immediate fundraising success, Catapult's work has also strengthened donor education and retention. Donors who engaged through their outreach have deepened their connection to our mission.”

It's made our fundraising efforts more focused, efficient, and productive.”

“Anthony Alonso and the Catapult Fundraising team were brought in at a critical time to help us address a capital campaign that was not meeting its potential.

I am deeply grateful for their commitment, leadership, and the outstanding results they delivered.”
