National Day of Service

Hartsook Companies, the Hartsook Institutes for Fundraising, and the Community Foundation for the National Capital Region partnered for a National Day of Service. The event served to bring Greater Baltimore and Washington, DC area nonprofits a wealth of experience to which they might otherwise not have access. The Day of Service events are geared toward helping nonprofits challenged by funding issues, those who might be struggling with annual fund, contemplating a campaign or simply need advice on communicating with donors.

"We enjoyed our time with Janell [Johnson]. Not only was she informative, but she assisted us in putting together a plan that we could immediately implement to strengthen our donor base while building and securing those relationships," stated Day of Service participant Juanita White, executive Administrator of In Gods Loving Hands (IGLH). "I look forward to the follow up in a few weeks and the opportunity to call upon her as needed! Thanks to the entire Hartsook group. The leadership of IGLH appreciates your services and we look forward in doing you all proud!
