Client testimonials

"My vote for the number one project goes to the exciting work ACT completed for us. Putting into place the framework for our strategic planning process has provided me with the foundation for future planning."

-Nancy Stark, Executive Director
Children's Fairyland

"The work ACT did has been very valuable to us. I wanted to let you know that the Community School of Music and Art has continued to use the results of your work in many different ways over the past year. The findings and recommendations have been quoted in funding proposals, in documents submitted to the city, and in many conversations with staff, board and donors."

-Andrea Temkin, Executive Director
Community School of Music and Art

"On behalf of Peninsula Habitat for Humanity, Inc. I want to thank ACT for the work they did to prepare a feasibility study for us regarding a ReStore. There is much more we could say about the professional and personal efforts expended by the team in support of the work we do. We wanted to thank you for this valuable resource for non-profits like ours."

-Mark Moulton, Executive Director
Peninsula Habitat for Humanity

"The breadth and depth of the team's experience in understanding the management issues facing non-profits, the time they devoted to the specifics of the Japan Society's case, the constructive frankness with which their recommendations were presented and their willingness to help us follow through with the recommendations, have been extraordinary."

-Christopher J. Sigur, Executive Director
The Japan Society

"The alumni who served on our Alumni Consulting Team did an outstanding and thorough job-from research to analysis to presentation. Our board of directors adopted the ACT recommendation. I am delighted to recommend the ACT program to anyone."

-Jim Lowder, Executive Director
Habitat for Humanity-San Francisco


"We have gone from a vague but looming need for office space as we grow out of our current situation, to having a developed goal of a physical and virtual campus-like facility for ourselves and potential partners that will one day contain the most dynamic activity anywhere addressing violence in the home. We simply could not have been this far along without the critical support brought to bear through Stanford's important alumni resource. And this was an ACT Fast Track program!"

-Esta Soler, Executive Director
Family violence Prevention Fund
