"Working with Catsnake on an ambitious yet realistic approach to our new legacy strategy was a breath of fresh air. The whole process was collaborative resulting in a more diverse and ambitious plan than we would have done on our own.

The project has set WWF on a path that will grow and diversify our legacy fundraising and pledger stewardship."
