Becky Dale: Head Women's Lacrosse Coach, Plymouth State University
“One of the greatest advantages of working with Fundraise4U is the time it gives back to our dedicated coaching staff. As part-time coaches, not only is our focus on the X's and O's of the game, but also ensuring an exceptional student-athlete experience. Fundraise4U takes the burden off managing multiple fundraising initiatives throughout the year...and our Friends and Family campaign was EXTREMELY successful. Because of Fundraise4U, we have the freedom to dedicate more time towards enhancing the development and growth of our players while still reaching our fundraising goals.”
John Barata: CEO and Director of Coaching, Legacy Soccer Club (MA)
We had the pleasure of working with Ted Priestly at Fundraise4U over the past year and I have to say it has transformed my thinking on fundraising.
Ted provided the tools for real-time accounting practices to ensure we stay focused and provide terrific service to our donors. His support from the beginning to the end of the process was top-notch.
We look forward to working with Ted in the future and strongly recommend any organization looking for fundraising support to reach out.
Fran O'Leary: Head Men’s Soccer Coach, UMass Amherst
We have been so fortunate to have Ted leading our Alumni Leadership Team. From his quarterly engagement calls and updates, to our annual (and wildly popular) Alumni Mentoring Night, Ted has brought so much to the table in terms of alumni engagement, and our fundraising has improved exponentially as a result.
Taylor Twellman: Founder at ThinkTaylor/Apple TV Lead Analyst/Former US National Team Member and New England Revolution Player
Ted has been and will continue to be a pleasure to work with. He has been the key driver of our sponsorship and media partnerships at ThinkTaylor, his attention to detail is second to none and he doesn't micro manage those around him. His ability to see beyond today is something that has been very important to those around us and thus someone I will work with for years to come.
Chester Elton: NY Times Bestselling Author/Speaker/Coach/Mentor
I have known Ted for about a decade now and he is one of those people that you are lucky to know. He is not only smart and hardworking, talented and engaging and all of those things you look for in a business partner but he is so much more than that. He is a goodhearted soul that will do anything to make a good situation great!
He is creative in a way that brings you and everyone else along on a wonderful journey of achievement and success while making it fun along the way. I think his coaching background gives Ted that ability to bring out the best in everyone while holding himself and everyone else accountable. This is how he makes every situation a win-win.
Ted is easy to cheer for because you know he is cheering for you! I can give Ted my highest recommendation because I know he will deliver on any project anywhere. He is GREAT! If you need to hear more call me anytime.
I am a huge fan of TED PRIESTLY!
Christine Lowthert, Ed.D: Former Director of Athletics, Assumption University
Ted and Fundraise4U worked seamlessly with our Department of Athletics and Office of University Advancement and has improved our athletic fundraising tremendously. We just passed the $100,000 mark from his Friends and Family campaign, which is more than double what we’ve been able to achieve in prior years. We are also launching the first-ever Alumni Mentoring Nights and have welcomed improved engagement with our alumni, as a result.
Given his background in both Athletics and Advancement/Development, it is easy to see why he is so effective and well-respected on college campuses around the country. Fundraise4U is WELL worth the investment, and I give Ted my full endorsement!
Elie Monteiro: Head Women’s Soccer Coach, Southern New Hampshire University
Ted carves out a clear path for success in reaching your goals. He will be invested in helping you build and strengthen relationships so you stay connected with your people which will help future results.
Bill Brady: Athletic Director, Landon School (Bethesda, MD)
Throughout his career, Ted has had an innovative and entrepreneurial approach to coaching, administration, leadership and most importantly, fundraising. I have applied many of his best practices in the programs that I have led, and have benefitted greatly as a result. I highly recommend Ted to help you with all of the ‘additional duties as assigned’ that coaches don’t always enjoy doing, or excel at.
Sarah Monson: Assistant Director of Annual Giving, American International College (Springfield, MA)
Ted has a winning personality and the winning formula to engage and increase donor giving!
The AIC athletics and Institutional advancement departments collaborated with Ted on a direct mail appeal that focused on current student-athletes’ friends and family.
It was key in new donor acquisition and increased overall donors by 131% during Athletics Giving Week.
Working with Ted is a fundraiser’s dream!
Rory Charcholla: MLS NEXT Boys' Academy Director, Empire United Academy (NY)
While providing the most professional youth soccer environment in western NY, our biggest challenge annually is raising the funds necessary for our budget. Enter Ted Priestly of Fundraise4U, who our Empire United MLS NEXT staff is very fortunate to have crossed paths with. He's taken the lead in planning a more sustainable annual approach to fundraising. Additionally, his execution of the Friends & Family campaign is seamless. Plainly speaking, Ted's efforts have taken a little less stress off of our plate, and allowed us to do more of what we love doing...coaching soccer! Ted is a "doer" and an unofficial member of our staff. We look forward to continuing our relationship in the months and years to come.
"If you get the opportunity to work with Ted Priestly and Fundraise4U – take it.
His contribution to our Chapter has been invaluable. He has not only organized a highly successful friends and family campaign on our behalf, but has also been a continued asset in pointing us towards future fundraising endeavors. He has brought an incredible attitude and great enthusiasm to our projects. From the first time we spoke, he saw a clear path to our fundraising success and has executed each step in the process to perfection.
Ted has been able to transform the financial future of our group and we look forward to working with him again in the future."
Benjamin Davis: President, Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity - Villanova Chapter (PA)

For non-profit or sports organizations utilizing Fundraise4U to leverage Ted’s expansive professional development initiatives is a game-changer!
The success of our relationship with Fundraise4U.net extends beyond financials.

Ed Matz: Head Men's Soccer Coach, Assumption University
"Fundraise4U.net has added so much direction, bandwidth and professionalism to our alumni engagement efforts at Assumption, and as a result we have seen a significant year-over-year increase in alumni participation, giving, and the quality of our events. In my 30-plus years coaching Division I and II soccer, I have never seen a better Return on Investment than what we have with Fundraise4U, and we look forward to continued growth in the future.”
