"Megan was a terrific fundraiser for The National World War II Museum. I would not be a trustee of the Museum but for her personal involvement in recruiting me. And, working with her, I already have made two large donations to the Museum, recruited two newer trustees who already are doing the same thing, and obtained additional contributions from friends and family. Her exuberant personality makes charitable giving easy, fun, and joyous. I am very confident that she will be a blessing to her clients."

“I write with pleasure to recommend Megan Franich for her demonstrated diligence and capability as a fund-raiser for The National World War II Museum. My assessment of Megan’s performance is based on my responsibility as Chair of the Museum’s $400 million Capital Campaign from the 2008 meltdown to its successful completion in November 2023. I observed Megan’s work with senior staffers and directly herself in initiating and pursuing prospects in major parts of the country. She is blessed with high energy, good judgment, and ability to work with Museum board members and senior staff. She is both a quick learner and is a good judge of whether donor prospects are worth the time and effort of soliciting them. I would be happy to work with Megan again.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Megan on several fundraising campaigns and events, and her proficiency has been critical to the success of every project on which we have collaborated. Her combined expertise includes detailed research, strategic and program planning, engagement and stewardship, and all aspects of fundraising. I could not recommend her team more highly for any fundraising or campaign management endeavors.”

“Megan is the most successful fundraiser I’ve worked with in my career. She not only gets results, she builds lifelong relationships along the way. A person of true integrity and character, Megan is a natural problem solver who excels at both strategy and execution—a rare combination. She is honest, direct, and deeply caring. I’m grateful to call her a colleague and friend.”

“I was fortunate to work alongside Megan Franich during my years as the Senior Historian at The National World War II Museum. Fundraising is the lifeblood of any non-profit, and Megan is brilliant at it. She’s energetic, detail-oriented, and always brimming with good ideas, new contacts, and ways to deepen relationships with donors. I’m excited about her new venture, and I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.”

“It is a distinct privilege and pleasure to endorse Megan Franich in her capacity as a fundraiser. I have had the opportunity to both observe her with other people and to personally experience her abilities, and her wonderful talent of truly interacting with prospective donors and making them feel comfortable was evident in each encounter. In my own case, I truly didn’t fully realize that fund requests had actually been made, and yet I was writing a check that almost took me by surprise. That to me is the epitome of successful fundraising when the person being asked is almost unaware that a solicitation is even on the table. It is not hard to understand the successes Megan has had to date, and will I am sure have into the future as well.”
