According to USA Today (April 2010), three of the nation’s Top 10 Charitable Events are Biondolillo-designed and/or developed fundraisers!
Biondolillo Associates was invited by The David and Lucile Packard Foundation to tackle one of the nation's largest-ever grassroots fundraising strategy assignments. The challenge: how to raise the $100 million per year private-sector "match" to fund universal after-school childcare in the state of California. The solution: Biondolillo conceived the Leadership Development Corps (LDC), the nation's first service corps dedicated to resource development. The LDC is designed to provide a highly-practical experience in both pledge-based and major-donor fundraising aimed at preparing college graduates to move along many career paths—particularly in the nonprofit sector—while providing badly-needed resources for high-quality after-school programming.
Also, the Biondolillo-developed Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program enjoyed its 17th year of growth! To date, the program has raised $400 million. For details, go to
Pledge-based Fundraising.
