Success Stories

For the last fifteen years, Bull Moose Group has had the privilege of working with numerous nonprofit organizations in Maine and Massachusetts that make a significant difference in people’s lives. The gratification in OUR work comes directly from THEIR successes.

Teddy Roosevelt

“Working with Bull Moose has dramatically accelerated the progress of our tiny nonprofit, allowing us to achieve a level of fundraising competence, and mission ambition, that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

Executive Director, Tedford Housing

“It was amazing working with Bull Moose Group during our scholarship campaign for asylum seekers to raise $2 million to establish a long-lasting investment. This was the largest campaign we had ever run, and I wasn’t sure how to begin.

“From our very first meeting to discuss fundraising ideas for our small nonprofit, Ronnie Weston offered guidance, training, strategic thinking and lots of encouragement. “You can do this,” she told us again and again. And over the course of our work with her, we proved to ourselves that, yes, we could! Ronnie’s understanding of our organization’s financial needs and how best to appeal to donors large and small, coupled with her fundraising experience and knowledge proved invaluable.”

Susan Stranahan

Board President, Island Commons

“Ronnie makes my heart sing as she brings her expert capital campaign skills to social justice oriented non-profits, providing equitable access to the critical funding they need to carry out their timely missions. She is creative and supportive, a listener and a problem-solver, holding urgency with just enough patience. With her positive can-do approach, no campaign is too small or too large for her to devote 100% of her energy. Working with Ronnie spells s-u-c-c-e-s-s!”

Carol Wishcamper

Organizational Development Consultant

“Working with Ronnie Weston of the Bull Moose Group has totally “upped” our development work. Thanks to her team’s creativity, marketing savvy and design skills, our recent annual appeal more than doubled last year’s contributions. You can count on Ronnie to give quality guidance that can both support a vision as well as implementation…and you can have fun in the process.”

“Evan provided Midcoast Humane with invaluable strategic direction and leadership showing us how to open doors for Board members, Advisory Council members, and other stakeholders to effectively and efficiently raise money. Who to ask, how to ask, and what to ask are all important concepts and Evan taught us how to do it all.”
