Charity Folks has been a new source of income at a time when we have to be creative about fundraising. Many of our Charity Folks auction items have been purchased by the general public rather than our own patrons and donors, so we’ve tapped into an income source we would not otherwise have been able to access - Christine Bernardi, Reprise Theatre Company Managing Director.

Fundraising has been tough this year. Small donors aren’t giving as much or as frequently and many foundations have frozen their support. In this environment, Charity Folks has become an integral part of our fundraising strategy. Our relationship with CF allows us to monetize the asset that is most readily available to us; our relationships in Hollywood. CF provides an invaluable service for non-profits and couldn’t be easier to work with. They are incredibly thorough, honest, accessible, and most importantly, reliable. I would unequivocally recommend them to any non-profit that needs a fundraising boost! - Bill Thompson, Executive Director

Kelly is one of those people who puts their all into their business and it is an honor to recommend her and the Charity Folks team!

Charity Folks answers a need faced by non-profits struggling to maximize very limited resources. The support provided by their knowledgeable staff is nothing less than amazing. The success of each and every auction is vertually guaranteed because of the care and thought Charity Folks provides each of its clients. We are so happy with their services and we recommend them to other non profits at every opportunity. - Merrily Newton, CFO

Oh, WOW! We had the most AMAZING time yesterday on the set of SVU. Everyone was really nice--no--beyond nice. They sought us out and spoke to us--all of them. We stayed all day, and they even put us in the background of a scene. I am hard pressed to think of a better day. Mariska was an absolute delight and pleasure. Christopher Meloni was a riot. Diane Neal even sought us out when we were in wardrobe to make sure that we got a picture taken with her. Meredith, a PA there, made sure that our every need was met. After we met the cast, Meredith went around later and had them sign head shots for us. Thanks for making this happen! - Carol T.

Garth Brooks' show was amazing...he was so attentive! Trisha Yearwood was also there. She even came out to see us before having her makeup done - Garth took a photo of us with Trisha! They signed everything we put in front of them. We were with them up until two minutes before he went on. Geez. We are like a couple of kids! Thanks for all of your help in making this happen. Carol T.

Before its 75th anniversary benefit celebration at Licoln Center, Save the Children had never done an online auction. Partnering with Charity Folks to do it was one of the best business decisions we made during the benefit planning. Kelly and her team worked long hours and after hours and really ran the "show" while we learned the ropes. Charity Folks taught us something new and at the same time helped us help some of the world's neediest children. - Sarah McLoughlin, Associate Director and Head of Events

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation would like to thank Charity Folks for their outstanding efforts and support during our 2010 auction which raised over one million dollars for the Foundation. We used these funds to provide college scholarship grants to the surviving children of special operations members who died in combat or training missions, as well as immediate financial assistance to the families of severely wounded special operations members. The superb performance of Charity Folks ensured resulted in an overwhelming successful auction! - Steven L. McLeary, Executive Director & Major USAF (Ret)

Thank you so much Charity Folks!! We loved being on the set of the United States of Tara and had a terrific day watching the behind the scenes action that goes into making a series. Everyone was so nice and we enjoyed meeting and talking to the stars of the show. It was a wonderful experience and we can't wait to see ourselves on the show when it airs!. We will surely be bidding on other great experiences on your site. - Dana B.

Dream Come True! Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work in putting together the luncheon with Roma Maffia on the set of Nip/Tuck. You always go out of your way and I really appreciate all your efforts in making sure everything goes seamlessly. It was an incredible day and we met with some really amazing people. Roma is such a talented, giving and gracious woman. She made us feel like we were the celebrities! It was a dream come true and better than anything we could ever have imagined. I can't wait to see what comes up next at CharityFolks! - Laura and Jason C.

Terrific Time With The Hamills! I just wanted to thank you for arranging our meeting with Mark Hamill and his wife, Marilou. Everything fell into place perfectly last Saturday, and my girlfriend and I had a terrific time with the Hamills. They are both extremely down to earth, and we had a great conversation with them. For me, it was the realization of my childhood dream to meet a "hero" and have him be so gracious to us. - Art L.

We used the proceeds of our auction to support an eye clinic in Kenya. Blindness in Kenya is 10 times more common than in the Western world with large numbers of people with conditions that could easily be reversed for low cost. Being personally blind or having a family member with that condition is a burden unimaginable. Returning sight to such people is a gift worth more than gold. A quote from one of our patients sums up perfectly what that gift means: “I was only a useless thing, I couldn’t cook or even help with the children. I was so depressed. Now I have a life again” Thanks, Charity Folks! - Jess Atkins, Founder
