Testimonials: Tech4Good Surrey Fundraising 101
I found Melanie’s presentation extremely helpful and she is an excellent speaker. I have attended other fundraising workshops in the past, but I found Melanie’s to be the most informative. She broke down the concepts into easy-to-manage pieces that made fundraising less intimidating. I would definitely recommend her to others in the non-profit field that are looking to learn more about fundraising.

I really enjoyed the workshop, connecting with other professionals in the fundraising sector provides an amazing opportunity to share resources and collect information about all of the wonderful work taking place in our community. The speaker was fantastic, thank you tech4good!
Chloe Good
Adoptive Families Association of BC
Melanie Crombie’s presentation on Fall Fundraising was very engaging. She went through all the necessary steps to plan an end-of-year fundraising campaign and I am taking many tips back to work, especially on writing successful campaign letters the idea of an “audio logo”. This was the first Meet Up I’ve attended and I would definitely go to future Tech4Good events. They are a great way to connect with other people in the non-profit community.
