Capilano University is pleased to provide its strong endorsement of The Discovery Group and their outstanding research services. Our collaboration with their team has been marked by a commitment to excellence, professionalism, and a deep understanding of our goals and needs. The Discovery Group’s expertise in conducting comprehensive research, has been invaluable for our small development team. Their ability to distill large amounts of information – or find practically non-existent information, has empowered us to make informed decisions and achieve meaningful outcomes. They consistently demonstrated a collaborative and client-focused approach, ensuring their work aligned with our goals and objectives.

The biggest thing is that TDG simplifies things. There are a lot of choices to be made in this business, not only from messaging and strategy but from a stakeholder engagement piece. TDG brings it back to basics. They are good at balancing governance and fundraising for the Board and are great as facilitating Board engagement. You are getting wisdom and intelligence with the bonus of someone who understands the sector.

When I started at U of S, there were new roles and little structure. TDG helped me build a structure and to focus on the areas of greatest importance with the clarity of what would help achieve my goals. Like so many in our sector who face the pressure to produce a campaign, there was a lot that needed to happen. If it wasn’t for our work with TDG, we wouldn’t be ready for a campaign. They sped up the growth of our organization. TDG played a key role to make sure we had an appropriate structure in place, had the right materials and tools for cabinet and staff.

Whether we needed a thought partner with whom to brainstorm fundraising and campaign ideas or advice on our governance structures and processes, the team at The Discovery Group always contributes thoughtfully, knowledgeably, and competently. TDG has been a partner of the College and mentored our team for almost a decade. We look forward to that partnership continuing as we navigate new challenges in the social-profit space.
