Testimonials Our Success is Built on Your Success.

All Ears!

• Leana Rech, Executive Director

After our BOD approved a multi-million-dollar expansion plan, I reached out to Ann for guidance. Extremely professional, yet very personable, she spent a hands-on month delving into all aspects of our non-profit, culminating in a Capital Campaign Readiness Report. The report outlined the strategic process we needed to implement ahead of launching our campaign. Ann’s guidance helped us set realistic expectations for our BOD and treasured donors who support our mission.

The Wolford Group’s report succinctly mapped the “rules of the road,” enabling us to lay the foundation necessary to avoid launching our campaign prematurely. Having Ann’s years of experience with non-profit management on board as we move toward expansion is priceless. Thank you, Ann!

Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center

• Linda Nelson, Director of Business Development and Marketing

Ann and I have worked very closely on various projects/events/retreats for over 20 years. She started the Memorial Hermann In the Pink of Health Luncheon 20 years ago. This event has gone from a small “tea” in a private home to a sold out luncheon for 1200 guests, it has raised over $6 million since its inception, which has been reinvested in the community to support breast and ovarian health.

Ann is a master at building strategic partnerships, establishing long-term relationships, confronting adversity in a straightforward manner and keeping the focus on the ultimate goal of the project she is working on. I would highly endorse Ann as a consultant. She is a respected professional in our community and a true joy to work with.

Montgomery Independent School District Education Foundation

• Tiffany Ortiz, Executive Director

The MISD Education Foundation greatly valued working with the Wolford Group to enhance our mission and vision to serve our school district. We are very intentional about becoming the best that we can be and Ann Wolford was a great asset and advisor to our Board of Directors. We enjoyed getting to brainstorm and set goals while having case studies from surrounding communities provided by the Wolford Group. Our slogan is #AverageIsNotAnOption and we feel like the Wolford Group highlighted our strengths and provided the necessary follow up to ensure that our goals were being met. Thank you, Ann!

Montgomery County Community Foundation

• Julie Martineau, Executive Director

Ann Wolford dove deeply into our organization to better understand where we were so we could move forward strategically. Her extensive experience in nonprofit management helped open the door for our Board to consider the possibilities of the future. The final product was clear, concise, and laid a manageable road map to more forward.

Northeast Hospital Foundation

• Tim Baker, President

Our organization was referred to The Wolford Group in 2017 when we were in need of a consultant's help to take our event to the next level. Although our event was only six months away, we engaged the services of The Wolford Group and began working with Brooke Baugh. From day one Brooke was committed to making our 10th annual In The Pink of Health luncheon the biggest and best in the event's history. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She is very personable, outgoing and organized. Brooke's leadership skills, perseverance, and tenacity were evident in her pursuit of donors. These traits and a lot of hard work resulted in a highly successful event that culminated with record-setting funds raised. We are thrilled to continue working with Brooke and the WG to manage our luncheon. On behalf of the Northeast Hospital Foundation I want to thank Brooke for truly going the extra mile to lay a strong foundation that will take our event to new heights in the years to come.

Richmond Realty Group

• Zach Richmond, Yes to Youth Board Member

I’ve worked on, volunteered, and attended many events in our community, and you can feel the difference between a bunch of volunteers putting on an event versus having professional involvement. We hired The Wolford Group to help us plan our first Shelter for Shelter event and we are now embarking on our 4th event with them as our advisors. Since the inception of Shelter for Shelter (a 3rd party event) with their assistance, we have been able to plan an event for 300+ people, raise $50,000 each year, and make sure our company, Richmond Realty Group – RE/MAX The Woodlands and Spring, doesn’t lose a step in delivering our high level customer service in the duration of planning our event. I would personally recommend The Wolford Group 10 out of 10 times! 5-star service and execution!

Teen and Family Services

• George Youngblood, CEO

Ann was contracted by our organization to develop a marketing and community awareness strategy for our new location in The Woodlands. I found her to be organized, responsive and diligent in pursuing all of the stated goals in our contract. She developed a three stage plan and demonstrated the ability to adjust the strategy to meet goals as information became available. I enthusiastically endorse Ann and I believe she will serve your organization with the same professionalism that she has ours.

Texas Nurses Association District 9 Foundation

• Marco A. Ollervides, Board Director Texas Nurses Association District 9 & Director of Patient Care, Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital

My reputation was on the line when I recommended Brooke to our Texas Nurses Association District 9 Board to evaluate and improve our performance and professionalism and manage our annual Nursing Celebration Gala. Brooke gave us the boost we needed. Her exceptional interpersonal skills, breadth of knowledge and unwavering commitment for results fueled our Board and members to surpass our goals. This is a tough assignment to achieve for a 3,000 member organization – the largest nonprofit nursing group in Texas. And the expectations were high since our foundation gala provides nursing scholarships and research grants. Brooke met the challenge. She exceeded our expectations on both counts. Without reservation, I recommend Brooke Baugh of The Wolford Group for nonprofit Board development, fundraising event management and high impact communication. Thank you, Brooke.

Mosaics of Mercy

• Amy Hauser, Co-Founder & Creative Art Director

As one of four co-founders of a local nonprofit ministry, we knew The Wolford Group could offer the necessary insight to help move us as a new organization beyond the ideas phase further towards intentional action and purpose. Ann Wolford confidently came along side four strong female personalities in a professional, yet comfortable manner that kept our attention, guiding our mission as we honed the essence of our messaging. Through intentional conversations, Ann helped us crystallize our vision and goals, preparing us with the necessary confidence to succeed in our arena.
