“After a two-day visit to the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, Tammy prepared a 60-page report detailing our many strengths and opportunities for improvement. Her report is now our roadmap to sustainable funding. I would heartily recommend her anytime an organization is looking to take a good fundraising program and make it extraordinary.”

She has been an absolute joy to learn from. This is the first fundraising role that I have ever been in before. At 30 years old, I'm wondering how do I rocket-launch my fundraising expertise. You learn from Tammy Zonker, that's what you do!”
