What Our Clients Are Saying
We started out with our first non-profit client, The Children's Place, in 1993. And, we're proud of the fact that over two decades later, we are still planning and managing fundraising events for The Children's Place.
For nearly 25 years, we have had the privilege of working with scores of non-profits to design and produce events that have yielded millions in support dollars.
Here's what a few of them have to say . . .
There is nothing better than walking into your event to find the tables and centerpieces looking spectacular, the silent auction being incredibly inviting and noticing all the final touches that make an event perfect, all in place. We would recommend JLD for any event you have on your calendar be it personal, corporate or not for profit.

JLD Associates is an exceptional resource for fundraising as well as for event planning and management. I would not think of using any other firm in the Chicago area, based on American India Foundation's experience working with them for more than a decade. They sweat every detail so we don't have to, and they manage relationships beautifully. I give them my highest recommendation.

​
In these most difficult of financial times for non profit organizations, we engaged JLD to help us plan a large (400 people) fundraising event. We had never worked with them and the economy was getting worse by the day. We were SO incredibly pleased with their style of collaboration with us, and their expertise from the smallest detail to the biggest challenges. They were a delight to work with and we raised quite a bit of money to help carry us through troubled times.
