What Our Clients Say…

My School Preschool / Cherry Hills Village, CO

“Scott Smith and Stonehill Consulting saved our school.  Scott came in and did the dirty work that nobody wanted to do, and he did it with a smile on his face every day.  Not only did he help us with structure and board governance, he also helped us hire our first ever Executive Director, who has been terrific.  We needed Scott and his expertise every step of the way, and he delivered!”

Starlight Children’s Foundation / Aurora, CO

“Scott Smith and Stonehill Consulting are exactly what we wanted them to be, and more.  We were in need of an interim director and we also needed help searching for a permanent one.  Scott was wonderful.  He has a sense of humor, he is smart as a whip, and he truly knows this industry.  He felt like part of the team from the minute he walked in the door.  Scott knows his stuff, and we were all impressed with his ability to talk to board members, donors, staff of all levels, and the families we serve, with professionalism and heart.  Scott is a huge reason why we survived this process, and came out in a better position than before.  Thank you Scott, you deserve a cape!”

Cheyenne Village / Colorado Springs, CO

“In 2009 Stonehill Consulting conducted a feasibility study in Colorado Springs to measure the community’s support of our proposed capital project.  The findings were that we not ready for a capital project without first launching a multi-faceted highly targeted awareness campaign to increase the visibility and understanding of our services.

Over the next 12 months, Stonehill Consulting helped develop and implement a moves management approach to donors and to create a new signature event with high end appeal.

The results have been amazing.  In one year, our targeted donors increased their giving by 72%, and our new event raised $125,000 in 2011 and $160,000 in 2012.  Because of the counsel and ongoing support of Stonehill Consulting, our community has become much more aware of Cheyenne Village and has increased their support as a result.”
