With moss+ross you get much more than the sum of one plus one. You get results. Results and perspective based on more than 50 years of successful fund raising, public relations, alumni relations, and communications experience. With all this you also get the rare combination of substance and style. The math works. So do Moss and Ross. I know. I worked closely with them both at Duke for many years.

Many thanks, Susan, for your excellent work on the Fuqua School Alumni and Development assessment. You pinpointed critical areas for improvement and very useful strategies for moving forward. I know the staff greatly benefitted from your advice and guidance...they’ve told me so. Please know you have made a positive difference. As usual, terrific work!

Mary Moss is an extraordinary leader. She understands how to build strong relationships and motivate people to support important causes. I enjoyed working closely with Mary as she led Ravenscroft School in two ambitious and highly successful capital campaigns. Mary has a rare gift for making people understand and enjoy the fundraising process. Her skills and expertise would be a great addition to any fundraising team.

Susan Ross was the perfect choice to lead Duke’s $308 million Financial Aid Initiative. The Board of Trustees and I were deeply appreciative of her leadership of this fundamental project at a critical time in Duke’s history. The management of the Development Committee, coordination with the co–chairs, engagement of the Student Advisory Council, and communication among the schools – not to mention being a star fundraiser – all added up to a tremendous job which she carried out with great distinction.

Simply put, Susan Ross is the BEST! She made a huge difference for many thousands of students through her leadership of Duke’s Financial Aid Initiative. Without her support and successful fundraising, far fewer dollars would be available now and especially in the future. Working with her was a real treat; she is innovative, thoughtful and always on the job.
James A. Belvin, Director of Financial Aid
Duke University (1976 – 2008)

Mary Moss displayed an outstanding blend of experience, knowledge and innovation as associate head for institutional advancement at Saint Mary’s School. She strategically managed the areas of admission, development and communications with extraordinary success. Mary’s enthusiastic leadership and infectious work ethic continually inspired her staff and members of the Board of Trustees. The Saint Mary’s School community will always be grateful for Mary’s significant accomplishments that enriched the lives of every student.
J. Cross Williams, Jr., Former Chair of the Board
Saint Mary’s School (2005 – 2007)

Knowing Susan Ross through both Durham Rotary and her work at Duke University, I enlisted her help in training our Board of Directors for our annual campaign. Her ’Fundraising 101’ was right on the mark. It couldn’t have been presented any more appropriately for the audience than the way she did it. I measure the effectiveness of a session by the number of unsolicited comments I received. There were many and they were all positive.

Mary Moss knows development and governance issues at nonprofit organizations in North Carolina inside and out. I have worked with Mary at Ravenscroft School, The Junior League of Raleigh and The North Carolina Museum of History Associates. Her sound advice is always right on target, and her enthusiasm for the mission of the organization contagious. I can honestly say that there is no one with whom I would rather work and whose counsel I respect more.
