“Athos brings a rare combination of strategic insight and fundraising expertise that has truly elevated our major gifts and development efforts. They’ve helped us clarify our value proposition, refine our messaging, and identify a broader network of funders and partners. Most importantly, they’ve met us where we are—offering tailored guidance that makes us stand out in a competitive philanthropic landscape.”

Dr. Eric Dunker, Reach University
"One of the best in the business...Chad is probably the best development [professional] in our network, hands down."

Siri Terjesen, Florida Atlantic University
"[M]y first pitch for the campaign came in today at the top ask level: $1M per year for three years, with the first payment immediate. He's also allowing us to use his name as we approach other lead donors. Chad, your advice and guidance as we built our proposal was instrumental to this. Pro level."

John Tomasi, Heterodox Academy
"...You have built an entire fundraising operation from scratch and raised a huge sum of money that only a handful of hundred-year-old universities can muster. We would not be here without you."
