Charmaine and her Raise a Dream Team offer exceptional training and guidance not only to non-profit organizations, but to authors/entrepreneurs and small businesses who have a big goals and dreams. Charmaine spoke with my local Soroptimist Chapter about proven ways to raise funds for their organization. It made a tremendous impact on their fund-raising efforts.

I used several of Charmaine's strategies on building partnerships and raising funds for my Guinness World Records™ campaign and they worked beautifully. I was not only able to fund the campaign and set a world record, but also empower many children to think positively in the process. I am so thankful for her knowledge and insight.

Charmaine is a true rock star when it comes to sponsorship expertise.

I had the pleasure of sitting in on a presentation she delivered to the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers. Her engaging delivery and content-rich presentation hit the mark with everyone in the room. It was packed with content and relevant, immediately doable ideas that any professional speaker, author, or innovative entrepreneur could put to work immediately! She earned a rousing and well deserved standing ovation from the audience.

I highly recommend Charmaine, particularly to any speakers or authors who want to learn the ins and outs of leveraging sponsorship in their business!

Charmaine Hammond is a brilliant mentor, trainer and consultant. She listens closely and consistently meets me where I am at and provides a wealth of expertise. She rolls up her sleeves and together we get things done to move my dream forward in practical and powerful ways. I thank my lucky stars to have Charmaine accompany me every step of the way, generously offering her expertise, connections and her hard earned insights from having travelled this road herself as well as guiding many others.

Raise a Dream truly has the pulse on how to build strategic partnerships and raise sponsor money in a way that is all about connection and creating a win-win. I am always blown away by how innovative and effective their strategies are. And I love that they walk the talk. They themselves have raised millions for their own projects for over 20 years so they really know all the ins and outs.

Charmaine is a woman of many talents. She is an engaging speaker, skilled facilitator, and expert in sponsorship and building partnerships. She brings her positive energy and warmth to all interactions. Recently Charmaine supported our Female Wave of Change Canada Environment Project Team as we were exploring priority sponsors, how best to approach them, and the key components of a sponsorship package. Charmaine provided us with many practical and creative ideas. I highly recommend Charmaine and Raise a Dream and the products and services they offer.
