“The path of philanthropy, fraught with challenges and opportunities, demands leaders who not only understand the landscape but can also inspire and empower others to traverse it with confidence. Crystal Fontaine is such a leader, coach, and mentor. We have worked together, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any leader, board, or organization eager to elevate their philanthropic endeavours and lead with unwavering faith, conviction, and impactful grace.”

"In my non-profit, I connect with a handful of major (and potential major) donors. But because it is only a small percentage of my job, it is a challenge to know how to best invest my donor relation time. Crystal was invaluable to me in helping me gain perspective and set priorities. Crystal is a relational star in a sky that's all about relationships."

"I really appreciated Crystal's coaching in my life and ministry. Her commitment to be Holy Spirit led, based in the Word of God, and asking penetrating questions sure helped me. My calling, my ministry, and my priorities were positively shaped by my time with her. She is super encouraging as well. It meant the world to me to know that she was cheering me on!"

“In today’s fast-paced, technological, 24/7 world, fundraising for charity and nonprofit work is more than just a skill-set. Crystal understands the need for an adaptive style and strategy when facing complex challenges. She is hard-working, team-oriented, and recognizes the applicable breadth and depth of experience. She knows that this work demands commitment, creativity, collaboration and the ability to communicate and function effectively in diverse environments with a variety of stakeholders. I have had the opportunity to observe Crystal managing both the details of complex fundraising activities and sensitivity with key relationships. She is goal-oriented, while being insightful, personal and trustworthy. In summary, she has the demonstrated leadership and talent necessary to be effective. I have no reservation in recommending Crystal."
