"Mississippi Theta has exceeded our original fundraising goal because respected alumni leaders got involved, rolled up their sleeves, and are passionate for our success. Pennington was absolutely critical to this success. What is amazing is that we broke ground on construction within almost 20 months of engaging Pennington; no one outside of the original committee thought that would be possible, but we stayed focused, organized, and accountable to each other thanks to the guidance received from the Pennington team.
For me, the opportunity to make new connections with so many SAE brothers from all decades has been an absolute blast. We can’t wait to cut the ribbon and share what SAE has accomplished with the whole Mississippi State community.”
"Our house corporation could not have succeeded in the $6+ million dollar renovation of our chapter house without the expertise of Pennington & Company. Pre-campaign, Pennington’s vast experience and insights helped identify the right leadership, volunteers and target donors. They kept us focused throughout our campaign and supported our post campaign follow-up. Pennington developed a communication plan specific to our membership and helped us approach donors in meaningful and creative ways. No matter how well organized your group may be, the reality is that volunteers simply do not have the bandwidth to complete a proper campaign without professional help. Pennington & Company was an essential ingredient in our success."
“The entire staff at Pennington was great to work with and made our campaign a success. Their proven processes are just the right amount of ‘push’ needed to keep volunteer boards stay on track. Their advice to our board was spot on from the feasibility study through the campaign.I would not attempt such an ambitious project like this one without Pennington and highly recommend them to my friends in other chapters.”
"Pennington really knows what they are doing when it comes to Greek fundraising! Their methodology is sound and tested. They are professional in every way. The reaction of our alumni base was beyond expectation. The relationship with Pennington and especially our consultant, Tony Quandt, was marvelous. Our success was way beyond our expectations."
“Pennington & Company brings a level of professionalism and personalized service to a campaign. In the 1990’s, in honor of our chapter’s 75th anniversary, I fundraised for a Phi Mu Fountain in the center of the Ole Miss campus without a professional company and it was much harder than I expected. When we hired Pennington for our house campaign, it was amazing how involved our consultant was and the level of work and travel that they provided. I have recommended several more Phi Mu groups use Pennington’s services because it makes the process so much easier.”
“People ask me how we were able to exceed our $500,000 goal during the worst recession in 60 years, and I never hesitate to say, without Molly Cunningham, Holly Neth and the other strategists at Pennington & Co., we would not have been successful. Our Campaign Committee consisted of 10 volunteers from around the country, who did our best to contact our sisters and spread the word about our Campaign, but we needed the expertise of Molly and her team to guide us and keep us on track. We are unanimous in our belief that we could not have gotten to this fantastic place in our Campaign without the help Pennington & Co.”
