Stefan Fuegi
Development Consultant

Accolades

"Stef carries a deep understanding of the nature of people's hearts and what opens them to giving. He brought almost instantaneous change to our organization. Once we applied his principles to our work we had an immediate and remarkable outpouring of giving that exceeded any of our expectations. With his help, we were able to raise more than our annual goal in just the first 6 weeks after we hired him. All of us are still shaking our heads wondering how so much happened so fast! It felt better to me than any kind of fundraising we had done. Not only that, our donors are thanking us for the opportunity to give to support our programs. My feeling is that this is the norm for how this man works."
--Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe, M.D. Founder, the Shadhiliyya Sufi Center and Executive Director of the Jaffe Institute

"Stef places high value on his relationships with colleagues and clients. I can count on him to be conscientious, prompt, and tactful. He also embodies the spirit of generosity with such integrity that I frequently find myself inspired by his desire to give."
--Allen Hancock, Co-Founder, More than Money

"Stef's enthusiasm for philanthropy is magnetic. He is able to help individuals discern and navigate their own philanthropic path. He helped me to see that my own resources were greater than I had thought, and inspired me to give more myself. One of his great gifts is the respect he shows through his ability to deeply listen. His sense of humor and zest for life make him one of the most passionate and effective promoters of philanthropy I have ever met. I look forward to working with Stef to help more people, particularly wealth-holders, engage joyfully with their giving."
--Ted Lord, Director, Philanthropy Promotion, Philanthropy Northwest

"In one conversation with Stef I shifted from seeing my seeking support for the program as a burden to myself and the people I contacted, to seeing it as an opportunity to communicate the core ideas and build new partnerships. Now talking to people about the work is fun and they are happy I called."
--David Berry, Former Executive Director, Interagency Working Group on Sustainable Development Indicators, Council on Environmental Quality, Executive Office of the President of the United States
