Testimonials Customers, experts and key stakeholders underscore today’s critical need for Mainstay’s know-how and our ability to quickly improve cash flow and quality of life initiatives for social service providers. “All I can say is, what took us so long? Mainstay’s impact was financially and programmatically the shot in the arm we needed; we realized significant budgetary and organizational upsides that we never could have orchestrated on our own. This was clearly the ‘make’ during a ‘make or break’ time for us. Additionally, the initiative allowed us to produce unparalleled Development inroads and management tracking/oversight systems. We became more results/accountable oriented—all for the better for our funders, consumers, staff and agency as a whole.” Alan Drizd, President of the Board of Directors Orchard Village, an innovative provider supporting over 300 people with developmental disabilities for more than 35 years (and Senior VP of HR for $4.9 billion Anixter International, a Fortune 500 leader) “From day one, Mainstay has been intent on understanding our unique needs and managing our specific challenges to deliver enhanced quality of life for our customers.” Jonathan Rauwerda, QMRP Clearbrook, a premier provider supporting over 2900 individuals with developmental disabilities since 1955 “Mainstay’s knowledge, responsiveness and professionalism are refreshing and were key to the implementation of a vital program that delivered valuable benefits to our consumers, staff, and agency.” Mark Ingrum, Vice President-Director of Residential Glenkirk, a leading provider serving over 1100 people with developmental disabilities for more than 50 years “Mainstay brings leadership, progressive ideas, outstanding service, and a proven track record to its partners; nonprofits can expect outstanding results.” Jim Stoynoff, President Synthesis Solutions, a preeminent nonprofit and for-profit consulting firm "Fiore has all the components to make substantial and long-lasting improvements to the nutrition and health of people with developmental disabilities.” Kimberly E. Thedford, MS, RD, Senior Research Nutritionist Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University "This well-designed program holds great promise for helping people with developmental disabilities improve the quality of their health and life. It also offers significant potential benefits to support providers by promoting better nutrition, decreasing meal preparation time, increasing customer involvement, and reducing food costs." Martin J. McCarthy, PhD Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University "Small nonprofits face a valley of the shadow of death in making the shift from programmatic funding to sustained unrestricted funding and many fail along the way." from Good to Great and the Social Sectors by Jim Collins "I’d like to suggest that a key link in the social sectors is brand reputation – built upon tangible results and emotional share of heart – so potential supporters believe not only in your mission, but in your capacity to deliver on that mission." from Good to Great and the Social Sectors by Jim Collins
