Inspire Us

JSS sees the world through the societal work of the most amazing firms in the United States and abroad. We are committed to excellence in our solutions because of how much our partners inspire us. Check out what some of our partners have to say about working with us. We are so grateful for their words of encouragement.

“Working with John was a pleasure. Asking others for money is never easy, so he encouraged us without being demanding or threatening. He was always upbeat. His strategic plans overall (especially for the presentation to our biggest donor) were "brilliant" to quote the Chair of our Board. John became a friend and cheerleader to me and our organization, and not ‘just a consultant.’"

- Russ Galloway, Capital Campaign Chair

“John Sullivan provided the research-backed expertise that our team needed to effectively engage our donors and reach our fundraising goals. Both professional and a compelling communicator, John employed his impressive range of skills and resources to help us achieve success.”

- Laura Hickman, Co Founder

“John instantly got us as a small school with a unique mission and no development staff. His experience was evident as he guided us through the steps needed to assess and grow our fundraising efforts. His coaching was invaluable and led to an inexperienced member of our team securing a five-figure gift right out of the gate. Best of all, I still occasionally text and call John with questions and he is always helpful and supportive. Engaging with John has proven to be a valuable investment for the health and growth of our organization. He wholeheartedly embraced our mission and made it his own.”

- Cece Palazola, Head of School/Executive Director

"I had the privilege to work alongside John for a project with AGAPE. We collaborated on developing and creating a research study and accompanying guide that John used to interview donors, supporters, and colleagues at AGAPE. Early on in the process, I was impressed with John’s ability to target key areas of interest that AGAPE wanted deeper understanding, and create a strategy that allowed him to ascertain those insights through disarming and conversational tonality in his interviews. He was open and willing to truly collaborate and consider outside opinions to ensure the results of the effort were successful. I’d be thrilled to work alongside John again in any capacity as I felt like I was a part of his team and learned a tremendous amount through the short time we worked together.”

- Logan Hartline, AGAPE Board of Directors

“John Sullivan is unmatched in his ability to give insight into difficult problems and provide practical, workable solutions. Many consultants talk the talk. John walks the walk. He underpromises, overdelivers, and executes. Full stop.”

- Bob and Dannah Gresh, Founders and CEO
