“Steve and his team are one of the best I’ve ever seen working with boards and getting them engaged with the overall vision casting and donor development process. For over a dozen years, their role strategically produced results allowing us to better serve those in need. As an element to our marketing and development team, he and his team are truly gifted visionaries, full of integrity, flexible, articulate and real Kingdom builders.“
-Robert Stutts
“Thank you DSG for the help you provided us in the few months of our engagement. It was one of the key factors that resulted in a successful fourth quarter and year-end for us. We hope to continue that momentum in the New Year.”
-Tom Mason, Board Chair
“I have watched Steve Kaloper through his various Kingdom postings: key church ministry staff, national parachurch development team leadership, advisor to high-capacity givers, and strategic consultant to non-profits who are specialists in their defining ministry, but need strategic assistance in their donor development. Steve brings a rich and informed perspective to his leadership counsel; his perspectives are not theories, but rather refined strategies that have a history of producing results. I have no one I can recommend more highly than Steve as a source of vision and strategy for non-profit leaders who are charged with matching ministry initiatives with ministry funding.”
–Bob Shank, CEO and Founder
“We needed help in the area of major donor development. We are extremely pleased with the results from our first year of partnering with DSG – with a revenue increase of over 34%. Thank you, DSG, for your hard work, friendship and partnership in helping us build an effective major donor strategy.”
–Nick Greene, Board Chairman
“When our paths crossed with Steve Kaloper and his team, I was reluctant to bring an outside firm to help with donor development, but we had seen our donations begin to plateau, and we needed a fresh perspective. On top of that, we didn’t have a strategy to pursue foundations, and we really wanted to grow in that area. It couldn’t have paid off more. I learned more in 90 days of working with DSG than I had in my previous three years of fundraising. Steve and his dynamic team went to work to immerse themselves in our organization to understand the intimate details of our vision and model. They used that understanding to create world-class deliverables and a very detailed strategic plan for our development… we look forward to working with DSG again in the near future.”
–Justin Miller, Founder
“Steve Kaloper and the DSG team have been a great blessing to Elam Ministries. Not only has their experience helped us develop a strong strategy for growth, but they are also committed to supporting the execution of the strategy by providing first class administrative help. This saves our time and resources and enables us to focus on ministry itself.”
–David Yeghnazar, US Director
“We appreciate the entire DSG Team. They really do take the ‘fear’ out of things and we want to express our gratitude for their partnership and all that they do. We continue to be in awe of their writing talents and passion. DSG has helped us so concisely explain who we are, what we do and why. We are grateful for their friendship and partnership for the Kingdom.”
–Steve Sharp, Founder
“As Neverthirst began to grow, we saw the need to build a development team, beginning with the key role of Director of Development. Ensuring this employee was properly trained was critical, and so we looked to hire a group to help with this process. DSG came highly recommended from one of our board members who had worked with them in the past. Steve and his team have played a crucial role in training this employee, and leading us into a greater level of donor relations, foundation relationships, and event planning. They have been beneficial in helping create and implement a successful growth strategy for Neverthirst as well, and we are grateful for their partnership.“
-Spencer Sutton, Executive Director
“Working together with Steve and the DSG Team has been an amazing value to me and our organization. DSG helped us through the entire process from creating tools to helping us better understand major donors and foundations. They helped us understand how donors and foundations think and what they need from us to create confidence. DSG has been invaluable to us.”
–Ash Zook, Executive Director
“Thanks for being a part of the Gateway Center team. You and your team have contributed much good as consultants to our development and external affairs efforts. I am grateful.”
–Vince Smith, Executive Director
“It was a pleasure to work with Steve Kaloper and his team. They had the capacity to see the big picture of Anchorsaway and were able to help us set a solid business plan. Through DSG, we met many people who now partner with our ministry. Without a clear idea of how to expand our ministry, we came to DSG for their expertise. DSG was able to dial in on our vision and provide us with a strategic plan on which we are now engaging as we go to the next level. DSG provided significant guidance in putting together both a ministry brief and an impact plan that both give potential donors a clear picture as to who we are. We are grateful for their guidance and their friendship.”
–David Kirkpatrick, Former President – Disney Picture/Paramount Films and Nancy Fitzgerald Founder/CEO
“Our organization literally would not be where we are today without the investment of Steve and his team at DSG. When our work was just an idea, the team at DSG came alongside us and offered support in order to position us so we could actually begin to reciprocate in exchange for their services. That spoke volumes to me and made it clear that regardless of our size as an organization, we still received the same quality of attention and support. I am truly grateful for DSG and would highly recommend their services, especially to organizations in their early stages!”
-Anthony M. Flynn, Founder
“Steve, You and your team are amazing and we love working with you.”
-Morgan Jackson, Senior Vice President
“DSG is a unique team that I highly recommend. They came alongside our team as an extension that helped provide innovation, strategy, and execution of a donor development plan. DSG helped us activate and engage our base as an extension of our team. The various team members of DSG provided a one-stop option for partnership which I highly recommend.”
-Robby Angle, President and CEO
“Lately I have been reflecting on our past 3 years of growth and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the time you spent with us. The things that you were able to teach us, we have been faithful to continue with success. Thank you Steve and your team for helping us so much. God bless you in all your efforts.”
-Chris Burgin, Executive Director
“Our single greatest investment was an engagement with Steve Kaloper and the entire DSG Team. We have seem tremendous success in how we approach and engage our support and results have taken us from over $900,000 to nearly $3 million in the past 3-years.”
“Working with Steve and his team allowed our ministry to make an even greater impact among the unreached in Africa! DSG helped us communicate more effectively with our partners, coached us in grant writing, and connected us with others that had similar desires to see the global world impacted for Christ. Steve and his team are gifted in a variety of skill sets and are easy to work with, and very responsive. Collaborating with DSG helped us grow as leaders and enable our ministry to have a more fruitful impact for the Kingdom!”
