Received January 12, 2009
I've written this recommendation of your work to share
with other LinkedIn users.
Details of the Recommendation:
"Terry Burton has been making groundbreaking contributions to the fundraising field in North America for many years. As the founder of Rainforest Publications (now iWave) he changed the landscape of online information services.
As the founder of Dig In Research, Terry has built the only database of naming gifts, an essential resource for those looking to understand the market for transformational giving and measure their own capital campaign efforts against those of similar institutions in the US, Canada and beyond.
As an educator and author, Terry continues to challenge and guide us. Any one in fundraising would benefit from Terry Burton's insights. I recommend him highly."
