We’ve served clients throughout the United States in communities large and small, from health care and faith-based organizations to social service agencies, community centers, and various associations and foundations. With our help, they have built new facilities, provided essential community-based programs, and staged incredible performances.

  • David Valinsky has been instrumental in the success of our capital campaign. From the campaign’s inception, we’ve relied on David and his team to guide us through all aspects of the project, including our feasibility study, donor relations, developing our case for support, training of our volunteer campaign cabinet, and building excitement about our project to the entire Asheville community. David spent a lot of time learning about the unique aspects of our community and has helped us to reach our dream.

    — Lael Gray, Executive Director. Asheville Jewish Community Center, Asheville, North Carolina

  • I have used David Valinsky and Associates for a variety of our fundraising needs including Capital Campaign Solicitation Training, Grant Writing, Board Fundraising Training, Leadership development and how it relates to fundraising and training staff in terms of solicitations, annual appeals, etc. David and his team are exceptional to work with, terrific teachers and trainers and have the ability to relate to every type of personality. We have had exceptional success due to their expertise. If I need outside help with any type of fundraising, David is the first person I call.

    — Jay J Jacobs, CEO , Weinstein JCC, Richmond, Virginia

  • We formed a foundation at our Medical Center four years ago and had tremendous success getting it off the ground, in large part due to the advice and counsel of our consultant. I enthusiastically encourage you to contact David Valinsky Associates…I feel sure you will not be disappointed.

    — Roger D. Russell, Former VP Development, St. Claire Regional Medical Center, Morehead, Kentucky

  • If we were to thank David and his team publicly it would take quite a while as we would be saying "thank you" over 15 million times - once for each dollar they helped us raise. David's ability to motivate our leadership, train them and instill a sense of confidence in their ability to solicit gifts was remarkable. It was only exceeded by how quickly he grasped the nature of the culture of our JCC and community, and what was needed to assure a winning campaign.

    — Barrie Weiser, Retired Executive Director, Memphis Jewish Community Center, Memphis, Tennessee

  • I want to convey to you the appreciation of the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors, and Nancy and her staff for the many contributions you have made to the foundation. You started with a blank fundraising canvas, and from it you painted a comprehensive program that has served the organization extremely well. The National Foundation for Judicial Excellence (NFJE) is better because of your efforts.

    — John R. Kouris, Executive Director, National Foundation for Judicial Excellence, Chicago, Illinois
