“I want to express my sincere appreciation for the collaborative effort with Reinier in implementing the planning & monitoring tool Forward within our fundraising team. Our integration of last year's fundraising plan and investments into the tool proved to be a game-changer as we actively monitored our progress throughout the year. While there was an initial learning curve in adapting to Forward's distinct structure compared to our database, the effort invested in inputting variables for various segments paid off remarkably. We now find ourselves examining data that was previously inaccessible, and the insights gained have proven to be truly invaluable.

The distinctive feature of Forward, allowing us to project five years into the future, has provided us with crucial insights into the long-term profitability of specific programs. This foresight has empowered us to make informed choices about our investments, and the monthly actuals input has translated into realistic end-of-year forecasts. Reinier's quarterly meetings were instrumental in providing essential data insights, identifying areas requiring further analysis, and guiding us with targeted questions to enhance our decision-making process.

Thanks to Forward, we successfully maintained control over our investments and income targets this year. As we eagerly anticipate planning for the upcoming year, we feel empowered and excited about the prospect of continued collaboration with Reinier in our quarterly meetings. Reinier has proven to be a valuable partner, offering strategic planning expertise and invaluable insights into the world of fundraising. We look forward to another year of fruitful collaboration and achieving new milestones together!”
