ALPS Foundation Services was instrumental in helping our Bar Association and Foundation achieve our fundraising goals. They traveled to our state on many occasions, took the time to get to know our members, listened to our needs, and then proposed a workable and realistic campaign plan. I always felt that we were in this together and that our success truly mattered to them. I can think of no better way to reach your goals than by partnering with Foundation Services and ALPS.

When choosing a consultant to assist us with our long-range planning, we sought an experienced, motivated professional with a keen grasp of the multitude of issues that face bar foundations in particular. Chris Newbold of ALPS Foundation Services guided us through the process, keeping us focused, on time, and on budget. He actively worked with our staff, board, and constituents with a competence and effectiveness that helped ensure we were able to develop a plan that will help us to direct our activities to meet our mission over the long term.

ALPS Foundation Services provided the the Montana Justice Foundation with needed and cost-effective expertise of a foundation director to guide us through our infancy as the principal charitable arm in Montana’s quest for achieving access to justice. I do not exaggerate when I state that the MJF is light years ahead in our mission because of the wisdom of our board to take the path less traveled and partner with ALPS Foundation Services.
-Don MacIntyre, President, Montana Justice Foundation
MAM is entirely satisfied with the many managerial services it receives from ALPS. MAM discovered Foundation Services, Inc. as we were searching for accounting services that were robust for a growing institution, affordable, and sensitive to the particularities of a nonprofit. After the accounting was running smoothly, we contracted with Foundation Services to facilitate strategic planning, as the museum was beginning a major capital campaign and building project.
Most recently our contract with Foundation Services has been extended to include planned giving administration services and Peak Investments has been contracted to invest MAM’s endowment funds. As MAM has become closely associated with ALPS we have come to admire the professionalism, civic mindedness and community spirit of this dynamic company.
