Our Consultants
Robin E. WilliamsRobin E. Williams,
President/Principal Consultant
A pioneer in systematic donor recognition, Robin began this consulting firm more than two decades ago, basing her approach on the rigors of wayfinding and sign program development for architects and graphic designers. Through this work she realized three things – signs are communication tools, there is a need for programmatic thinking about how donor recognition is presented, and greater giving is achieved through compelling story-telling. Today she is a recognized thought-leader for donor recognition planning and design, heralding the importance of philanthropy as a core value to our society.


Anne Manner-McClartyAnne Manner-McLarty,
Vice President and Senior Creative Consultant

Anne fosters the "think before you thank" philosophy by focusing on recognition policy, procedures and consistent communication throughout various venues and media. Relying on over twenty years of marketing and graphic design experience, she provides focused and original insight into the current theories of experiential and interactive marketing techniques as they apply to donor recognition.  She works with clients to define critical messaging objectives and design consistent, manageable methods for their delivery – from the quintessential “donor wall” to emergent digital media.

Planners
We emphasize the importance of a “program” of donor recognition wherein communication with your community of donors – and prospects – is maximized. Programs are based on giving type, gift amount and communication goals to increase the effectiveness of these “24/7 ambassadors” for philanthropy. Look to our Case Studies to learn more about how programs evolve.

Strategists
Twenty-five years’ experience working with fundraisers gives us the ability to forecast which donor recognition tools will work for your organization. We know the questions to ask and the process to determine the right answers. Study the Best Practices for Donor Recognition™ to understand the basis of our approach.

Designers
Donor recognition should be architecturally appropriate, suited to your budget and easy to maintain. Robin E. Williams Incorporated is not a fabricator and that frees us to select the right methods and materials to meet those needs. Past successes inform our decisions about which product solutions are dependable, repeatable, versatile, and expandable. See examples of our design work in our Portfolio.

Advocates
Fundraisers face challenges from within their organizations. Coordination with other professionals – Architects, Marketing, Facilities, even Administration – can be a major impediment to a comprehensive donor recognition program. So that you may focus on raising money, you may trust us to interact in your behalf with those professionals to negotiate immediate and long-range methods to improve procedures and outcomes that will celebrate philanthropy and enhance giving. Our Linkage™ process demonstrates how we are able to integrate and communicate donor recognition as a core value for your organization.
