The Proof is in the Impact
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Heide in several capacities over the years, including partnering with her on the planning and fundraising efforts for a gala benefiting the Junior League of Greater Lakeland. With Heide’s guidance, support, and deep expertise in fundraising, we surpassed the totals of all previous events. Her insight into donors, their needs, motivations, and expectations, was instrumental in the event’s success. Heide is ambitious, thoughtful, and highly intentional in her fundraising strategy, and I am confident that any project she is part of will be successful.”

“Heide Evans has been an invaluable Strategic Consultant to ConnectED Polk over many years. Her guidance was instrumental in tripling our donor development, not through quick fixes, but through hands‑on coaching and a thoughtful plan to expand and deepen our donor base. She helped us clarify who we are and how we show up in the community, leading a full rebrand that included renaming our organization, reshaping our messaging, elevating our social media presence, and relaunching our website in a way that finally reflects our impact. Along the way, she also stepped in on key event management responsibilities, ensuring our fundraising and stakeholder events were as polished and mission‑aligned as our new brand. Any nonprofit looking to grow strategically, strengthen its funding, and tell its story with greater clarity would be fortunate to work with Heide.”

“Working alongside Heide as our Group partnered with some of the nation’s largest and most prestigious universities and nonprofits resulted in a huge positive gain around their operational capacity building needs and corporate partnership structures. Heide‘s unique approach to identifying and meeting the skill gaps within the executive leadership teams really allowed us to pinpoint professional development opportunities and other resources that not only filled in those gaps but also strengthened the overall leadership culture. She approaches her work with consideration of others and Fosters human-centered collaboration to address some of our partners’ biggest operational, as well as funding challenges. We look forward to future projects with Heide and her team.”
