"Harvey McKinnon knows more about monthly giving programs than just about anyone in the world."

Mal Warwick

"Harvey McKinnon is one of the very few fundraisers I think is worth crossing half the world to listen to. He's knowledgeable, creative, entertaining, insightful and unconventional, but boy, he gets results."

Ken Burnett

"I attend plenty of fundraising workshops but Harvey’s was the best — immediately applicable, relatively easy and will raise more money!"

Dru Schmidt-Perkins

"Our children's hospitals in Canada and the US are now better positioned than ever to maximize the value of their monthly giving programs. Our partner hospitals from Canada and the US spent a day with Harvey and it was the best day of fund development wisdom we have ever been able to deliver. I am confident this day will make each attendee the fundraising hero of their Foundations if they act on his simple advice."
