"We knew [working with Propel Nonprofits] would get us further faster toward our mission. It’s an investment that’s going to pay off, honestly, in the near-term, not even the long-term." Lynn Farmer, Board Chair, Northside Economic Opportunity Network "There’s been a leadership void in the local film community, and now we’re in the position to be the leaders. This is our time to be ambitious." Andrew Peterson, Executive Director, FilmNorth "Propel Nonprofits gave us permission to save, and to integrate that into the organization’s DNA and culture – ‘hoard cash’ is our new mantra!" Amanda Kaler, Interim Executive Director, Minnesota Center for Book Arts "Successful students need a safe, inspiring environment, and Hiawatha Academies is committed to providing that environment." Phil Hatlie, Senior Loan Officer, Propel Nonprofits "We scheduled this meeting (with Propel Nonprofits) and we were told, ‘This should not create a problem. I’m here to help you.'" Abdo Sayegh-Rodriguez, Managing Director, TU Dance "I always felt Propel Nonprofits had our interest in mind." Matt McFarlane, Executive Director, PiM "What’s special about Propel is that it wants a relationship and provides support as we pursue our mission." Gaye Adams Massey, CEO, YWCA St. Paul "Propel Nonprofits was very clear that they needed to be in a position to advocate for us, which meant that we had to do due diligence on our end." Sarah Bellamy, Artistic Director, Penumbra Theatre "Propel’s work is to help – no shame, no blame." Nieeta Presley, Executive Director, ASANDC
