"Scala & Associates has successfully accomplished several goals for our organization...the board of directors has instituted four annual fund raising initiatives, funding agencies have a clearer understanding of our mission, and our bottom line reflects the increased giving by foundations as a direct result of grants secured by Scot Scala. Though they have many other clients, when Scala & Associates works with us, they make us feel as if we’re their only client."
