"Frequently we are asked, "Why choose Hartsook Companies over another firm?" There are many reasons, but nothing speaks louder than the record growth HCI continues to experience in 2008. Fundraisers, volunteers and board members are talking about bad fundraising times, yet HCI is experiencing one of its best years ever. As one of America's largest and most recognized fundraising consulting firms, we are proud that our reputation for quality and results continues to make us the fastest growing firm in the country."

Bob Hartsook,
Founder and CEO
