Direct Response Fundraising
“Since 2010 Harvey McKinnon Associates has worked with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank to grow and mature its Direct Mail program. We went from four simple “homemade” annual mailings to more than double the mailings, online and social media integration, and more complex segmentation and prospecting. Our annual DM income has increased eight fold.
Harvey and his staff are highly professional, very personable and knowledgeable. They have taken the time to get to know our culture and work, so that through each appeal donors feel truly connected and motivated to support the organization and mission they care about. Harvey and his team make you feel that they are there only for you!”

“During the past decade, Oakville Hospital Foundation has had a trusted and valued relationship with Harvey McKinnon Associates. Every member of the team was professional, reliable, and friendly and made us feel like a special client. They consistently had our Foundation’s and donor’s best interest at heart offering recommendations and strategies that were respectful of our budgets. They were truly invested in our success and were an important partner during our capital campaign. We are grateful for their years of guidance and for helping our Foundation’s direct response portfolio grow year over year.”

Harvey McKinnon Associates are a delight to work with. They practice the Covey principles that they promote — effectiveness, efficiency and creativity. They have dramatically increased the size of our donor base – 700% in one year. And they have recruited a huge number of monthly donors for us. They deliver what they promise – and more – and they clearly care about our mission. I recommend them highly.

“HMA was able to show us how readily a monthly giving program could fit into our overall membership efforts. We are very pleased at the untapped potential for monthly giving they helped us identify in our house file… We became convinced that monthly giving could be a reliable source of long-term income for us.”

Legacy Fundraising
“I couldn’t be happier with Harvey and HMA. Thanks to HMA, SFU was able to conduct our most successful donor survey in SFU’s history. We were astonished at the response rates their letter and survey generated. Not only did HMA help us uncover many planned gifts we didn’t know about –their strategy allowed us to identify hundreds of planned giving, major giving and leadership giving potential donors. I’m a very happy client. And thanks to HMA we have very happy donors!”

Legacy Fundraising
“I highly recommend Harvey McKinnon Associates to fundraisers who want to expand their bequest expectancies. HMA worked with our budget and targeted the best prospects within our database. Their strategy worked beautifully and the responses to their campaign exceeded our targets. In the past we had worked with other agencies for our legacy work and HMA’s results were by far the best. Their campaign unearthed many bequest expectancies and lots of interested prospects, so I’m very pleased with their work for us.”

It has been a pleasure to work with them for the past several years.”
