“In over 25 years of fundraising experience I’ve never heard anyone enunciate more clearly how to build philanthropic sustainability in your organization. Working with Jamie and his team at JDLA… turned our whole organization around. From distracted and in debt to focused and funded, we watched our entire constituency grow deeper in their engagements with our vision and mission, as we stopped focusing on money and ourselves and started focusing on impact and others.”

"Every once in a while you are introduced to a person and the ideas they share with you are nothing short of revolutionary in your life. In fact, you know the moment you hear them if you will apply the principles they advocate, it's going to provide a powerful impact on the organization you have been pouring your blood, sweat, and tears into. And not only are these ideas going to multiply the current impact of your organization, but they are going to make it financially viable and sustainable far into the future. Jamie Levy was just such a person as this to me.”

I believe I speak for [our team] when I communicate how blessed Beyond Translation is to have connected with JDLA.

You and your team have been a Godsend to our organization.

Since we have encountered [the JDLA team], we have discovered so many things about where God desires to take Beyond into the future. Your experience and expertise has both encouraged and challenged us. I am confident that we haven’t been the easiest client your team has the joy to serve, and yet NOT ONCE has your team led us to believe we are never welcomed to email or phone with any issue or question we may have. You have been as graceful as you are competent. And for that we are so thankful. 

You told me once over the phone that JDLA sees each client they have as family. You and your team have proven that to be true, time and time again these first six months. And we look forward to a hopeful long and prosperous journey together as we honor God and transform the nations.

“Jamie makes a strong case for a shift in focus from transactional to transformational as a multiplier of both impact and funding.

This shift in Focus has turned our organization around and left others in our community and beyond asking for our secret.”

“Working with JDLA you will know you are not just a number. Everything is about the relationships and how those connect us to causes that are greater than any one person.”

“For the first time in 7 years… the Library balanced the budget without having to dip into our reserves. I can’t tell you how wonderful that felt!”

“JDLA...helping to build, equip, and guide the development plans for our ministry has been essential to our growth.”

“The board has adopted your recommendations and has come alive!”

“One thing I will say about JDL[A] is… they are 100% responsive to client needs, no matter now tedious those needs are.”

“Prior to JDLA, Water for Good's development and fundraising planning was sort of like wandering around the backroads hoping we'd run into a highway somehow. Jamie and his staff's strategic work with our staff and board leadership took us from guessing the way forward to plugging in a GPS...and suddenly we had clear paths to follow to the fundraising success we desperately needed.”

“I don’t think JCYS would have survived our transition without the expert advice JDLA provided...JDLA has helped map the process to success.”
