"Partners for Change was instrumental in transforming the Freedom Writers Foundation from a small loosely-run organization to a professional nonprofit organization, impacting the lives of thousands of teachers and students across the globe. Individually, they offer strong experience in the areas of organizational design, strategic planning, and governance among many other areas. As a team, they were able to bring their collective professional experience from the financial services and management consulting worlds along with a joint vision for making change in an organization in need of moving to the next level. I personally appreciated their consistent dedication and caring manner while maintaining a level of professionalism required to achieve results at the Freedom Writers Foundation."
- Faye Walsh, former Executive Director, Freedom Writers Foundation
"Partners for Change started working with Friends of Pimpollo in December of 2003. We were a very small organization with a big heart and big ideas and a single program. We had some loosely written goals and had a difficult time explaining our mission to others as we seemed too busy serving to “get organized.” We now have three major programs and have dramatically increased the number we serve.
Partners for Change lead us through every important process that facilitated this growth. We would not have been able to handle this, nor would we have had the confidence to undertake these new projects without the solid structure, advice and counsel we received from Partners for Change.
Effective processes led to the establishment of our Organizational Structure, Goals, Mission statement, Committee Structure and Vision etc. Most recently with the development and implementation of the TouchStone Business System to manage all of our processes and important documents we will now begin to operate like a well run business. This will be the key to our next level of growth and impact in serving others.
Partners for Change is helping us realize our dreams."

"A key person in my organization gave notice this week. If I didn't have TouchStone, this would be a serious set back. But because her entire job description and all that she does, (her systems), are documented, finding a replacement and getting that new employee up to speed will be as easy as painting by numbers."
C. King - Bishop, GA
"TouchStone has brought an 'order' to the company that I didn't think was possible. We are a very complicated company and the differences in our company before we rolled out TouchStone versus after, are nothing shy of profound. Systems and processes are no longer daunting. And disseminating alterations to existing protocol is seamless. I believe our future growth can be accelerated now that we have such a powerful tool to help us along!"
L. Vines - Austin, TX
"What I have today in my business with TouchStone is very different than what I had before. People are very attracted to structure, systems, feeling empowered to do their job well and participate in a really dynamic way and to stay engaged. We didn't have this before but TouchStone really lays everything out. Here are the tools. Here are the expectations. Working with these is how you win here in our company."
R. Pytell - La Jolla, CA
"I often work from home. In the past, I logged into my office computer using GoToMyPC. On this day, however, the power was out at the office and I could not log in as I had expected. I am an attorney and I can not miss deadlines. All the forms I need are uploaded to TouchStone. I was able to log on to my TouchStone account, complete the forms I needed, and deliver my work on time! TouchStone saved the day!"
