"I regularly work with various non-profits on a variety of fundraising projects and can honestly say I have never dealt with anyone who showed more passion and effort than Ted. I am confident that he would be an asset to any organization..."

The recent completion of our beautiful new church would not have been possible without Ted’s outstanding leadership and fundraising skills. He brought together, organized and directed a multi-cultural group of volunteers and led them on a very successful fundraising campaign. With a large Hispanic community unused to large fundraising efforts, Ted consistently reached out to and empowered these members of the parish.

“Thanks to Ted's wealth of experience living "globalization" on the ground for over two decades, DeSales University is grateful for his ongoing counsel and encouragement as we have undertaken a major expansion of our global learning platform. As an advisor to the Globalization Task Force, Ted played a valuable role in helping these recommendations become reality. We now have university collaborations in Argentina, India, Peru and Romania, among other countries.”

Galen C. Godbey, Ph.D., Vice President for Globalization, DeSales University

"Fortunately for us, the company posted Ted Wills to the assignment and he worked on site at the Holy Family Cathedral parish for sixteen weeks. (...) Ted is a very experienced professional fundraiser with many years of service to the Church in the field of Catholic stewardship and development. (...) At the end of the campaign, Ted left Anchorage with another successful campaign in the win column for the Archdiocese."

James P. Caldarola, CFRE, Director of Stewardship and Development, Archdiocese of Anchorage

"What was most striking about this campaign was that it was successful despite significant challenges that had to be overcome. (...) Working closely with the pastor and parish leaders, Ted quickly established himself as a humble servant with an aggressive proactive attitude that was contagious. (...) Again, it was the leadership, organizational abilities and strong inter-personal skills of Ted Wills that made this success story happen."

Pat Palombo, CFRE, Director of Development & Stewardship, Diocese of Youngstown
