His work, both in preparing for the retreat and in conducting it, was outstanding.
“Al facilitated a critically important two-day board retreat, where we wrestled with two very big issues. His work, both in preparing for the retreat and in conducting it, was outstanding. My board members were delighted. All are experienced, having served on many boards, and all shared their happiness with the planning retreat and its outcomes. One expressed that this was the single best meeting he had attended in all his years of board service.”

On the ‘new information’ scale, Al was a 10.
“Minnesota’s nonprofits are eager to address critical issues facing their organizations, and seek out learning opportunities that address both the how and why of their work. Al Cantor’s keynote address to our Nonprofit Finance and Sustainability Conference hit this objective perfectly: new information, hard numbers, ethical challenges, inspiring examples and a persuasive call to action. On the ‘new information’ scale Al was a ‘10,’ presenting an exceptional and singular perspective that is too rare in the fields of nonprofits and philanthropy, which actually goes back to the roots of why we do this work in the first place.”

Al has become my go-to guy for sage advice delivered with kindness and humor.
"Al has become my go-to guy for sage advice delivered with kindness and humor. Last year, we bolstered 'all things' planned giving, and we couldn’t have done it without him! Recently, a donor approached a board member by surprise about establishing a large estate bequest. With our newly completed planned giving guidelines in hand, the board member felt comfortable and confident during this meeting. Al guided us through the process, and we ended up right where we needed to be."

Would I hire him again? Yes! In fact, I already have!
“Al provided us with an excellent assessment that gave a new sense of direction to the board and the organization as a whole. He was always available, and he brought things forward that could only come from a third party. Above all, he took the topic of raising money (which scares people) and made what might be intimidating feel possible. Would I hire him again? Yes! In fact, I already have!”

Al approaches complex issues with thoughtfulness, moral clarity, and ardor.
“There are few individuals writing and working in the philanthropic sector today who approach complex, controversial issues with more thoughtfulness, moral clarity, and ardor — qualities that are rarely found sympathetically aligned — than Al Cantor. In particular, his work raising alarms about the rise of donor-advised funds has been a vitally important civic service.”
