What Our Clients Say
“We have hired EAC twice in four years to assist with strategic planning. They've done a great job for us, especially during COVID when we moved planning sessions virtually. The company is very responsive, accessible, professional, and just plain fun to work with.”
- Shelly Prichard, CEO, President – Wichita Community Foundation
“Ekstrom Alley Clontz & Associates helped us to reveal our organization’s strengths and opportunities and forge a clear path
for our affiliates, no small challenge with a statewide network that spans 100 counties.”
- Jennifer Tolle Whiteside, CEO, President – North Carolina Community Foundation
“In designing our strategic development plan for the next several years, I valued greatly your role as outside thought partner to share ideas and suggestions. As the San Francisco Foundation has embarked on its new and ambitious Equity Agenda, it requires our development efforts to be much more focused. Your participation in our planning process and at the Board retreat was excellent and helped raise the importance of a new direction with the Board.”
- Ruben Orduna, (former) VP of Development and Donor Services – The San Francisco Foundation
“The feasibility study and report we received from Ekstrom Alley Clontz & Associates has been extremely formative to our
work. They provided solid advice which has impacted our strategic planning greatly. We still quote the report 2 ½ years later
and continue as we continue to evolve in our efforts to pursue long-term “sticky” assets as gifts to our foundation.”
- Amy Cheney, (former) VP for Giving Strategies – The Greater Cincinnati Foundation
“Ekstrom Alley Clontz & Associates knowledge of the field gave our board a perspective of community foundation operations

ability to become one of the fastest growing community foundations in the country. They were also fun to work with!”
