“I had the pleasure of working with Jenny at World Vision NZ and most recently contracted her to set up Operation Mobilisation’s Gifts in Wills programme.
As a small organisation with no Gifts in Wills presence, Jenny was a huge help in moving OM’s work forward. In a short space of time she provided a plan, developed content and offered all the support we needed to get our programme up and running!
Jenny is easy to work with, very experienced, professional, and has a can-do attitude! Thank you Jenny for being flexible to our needs and for helping our work to benefit from a robust Gifts in Wills strategy. Jenny comes with my highest recommendation.”

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

“I had the pleasure of working with Jenny for a short period, while employed at World Vision New Zealand. Despite the timeframe, I quickly learnt for myself, just how much of a dedicated fundraising professional Jenny is. Taking on the management of a relatively young Gift in Will Programme, Jenny successfully implemented new and refined existing processes to achieve phenomenal results. She worked with wider organisational stakeholders to engage them in the programme, and support activities, including the GIW drip-drip communications plan, survey and more. She is a Gift in Will specialist and is passionate about the impact you can have by implementing the Fundraising specialism. This is demonstrated in her leadership in championing the GIW Special interest group for the sector. Jenny can think strategically, but also understand the finer details, to help resource a Fundraising plan. If you work for an organisation looking to grow their GIW confirmations pipeline, or start stepping into the GIW space, Jenny’s understanding of best practise and skill set, will help set you up for success.”

“Jenny has gone above and beyond in supporting me through the Fundraising Institute of New Zealand's Mentorship programme. From the beginning, she took the time to understand me, my organisation and my role in Fundraising and Communications. From there, Jenny worked with me to create manageable, measurable, and efficient goals to get the best out of my work. Jenny is extremely knowledgeable in multiple areas of fundraising and because of her insight, has added great value to my role currently.
Jenny’s experience paired with her kindness and determination made her an incredible mentor. She has provided me with valuable resources, knowledge, and skills that I will carry throughout my professional career.”

“I would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny’s services to organisations requiring both strategic and operational guidance as they develop their gifts in wills programmes. Jenny’s track record in successfully developing and leading programmes will ensure your organisation can effectively implement cultivation, solicitation and stewardship activity through surveys, telephony, events, and collateral production.
Jenny’s ability to apply analytical and best practice principles to a broad range of causes, development stages and resource environments make her an excellent option for organisations looking to grow their legacy pipeline. You can be confident of Jenny’s knowledge and skill-level in all key elements of your gifts in wills plan - internal education and promotion of legacy giving, building relationships with key stakeholder groups such as legal advisors and trustee companies and designing and measuring performance among others.”
