Evelyn Mason and Associates was initially hired in 2010 by MS Australia – ACT/NSW/VIC to review and consult with us on our direct mail appeals. Evelyn has put in place strategies to increase our income and develop our donor database.

With her expertise she has now helped us with other projects including our corporate portfolio, capital appeals material and our bequest program an area where Evelyn’s experience and knowledge is unequalled in Australia.

Evelyn has an excellent understanding of fundraising and we very much appreciate her professionalism, enthusiasm, efficiency and passion that she dedicates to all her work for us.

Paul Towers, Fund & Fundraising Manager, MS Australia - ACT/NSW/VIC

WIRES partnership with Evelyn Mason commenced in March 2007 when she began assisting us in the development of a Bequest Program. We have since established and maintained a close and productive relationship with Evelyn, who has supported WIRES with advice and assistance on a wide range of fundraising issues from staff employment to direct mail appeals. The Bequest Program has shown astonishing growth under her guidance and all her advice on fundraising matters has proved consistently accurate and apposite.

Evelyn not only brings a high level of professional competence to her dealings with us but maintains a thoughtful flexibility in her approach and a willingness to adapt her advice to accommodate WIRES specific needs and limitations.

Addressing and advising WIRES Board, working hands-on with WIRES staff, identifying an appropriate employment agency for us, assisting and advising on acquisition strategies; in all these fields and more, Evelyn has become both a personal friend and an invaluable resource to WIRES.

The Australian Respiratory Council’s association with Evelyn began in 2010 with an engagement to plan and implement a Bequest Program.

Rather than the usual approach of one model fits all, Evelyn’s insight into what would and would not work for us was particularly appealing and refreshing. Evelyn’s professional manner, her extensive knowledge and her guidance to ARC’s staff has been invaluable in ensuring the Bequest Program is well established and sustainable into the future.  Evelyn was very willing to unconditionally share her wide range of skills. Her passion for fundraising was extremely contagious.

Linked with her professional manner Evelyn’s sensitive approach in such a personal area of fundraising has been very rewarding for our Bequest Program. The initiatives implemented under Evelyn’s mentoring have been well received by our donors.

Over the past six years I have worked for Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter, Motor Neurone Disease Association and now with Anglicare Canberra and Goulburn. In each organisation I have asked Evelyn Mason to assist me with my fundraising program. Among other things she is an expert on donor clubs and bequest programs and her knowledge of list selection in Australia is unequalled. I have found Evelyn to be very professional and she gives exceptional value for money. Even if you are confident in your knowledge and ability she still adds value to your program with ideas and suggestions. She is highly regarded by her peers and her trail of awards bares testament to this.
