“I have watched Steve Kaloper through his various Kingdom postings: key church ministry staff, national parachurch development team leadership, advisor to high-capacity givers, and strategic consultant to non-profits who are specialists in their defining ministry, but need strategic assistance in their donor development. Steve brings a rich and informed perspective to his leadership counsel; his perspectives are not theories, but rather refined strategies that have a history of producing results. I have no one I can recommend more highly than Steve as a source of vision and strategy for non-profit leaders who are charged with matching ministry initiatives with ministry funding.”
Bob Shank – CEO and Founder, The Masters Program

David Yeghnazar - US Director, Elam Ministries
“There are many fundraisers out there who want your business and say it takes time and years to do development. Steve and his team at DSG are the real deal. They engage from day-one, becoming part of your team and do whatever it takes to help us achieve results with the heart and desire to make an impact themselves. With the right balance of skills to design and implement what they said we need to do. There are not many guys like Steve and I’m glad he and his team are part of the ongoing work at EGM.”
Daniel Watts - President & Founder, EGM
“When Street GRACE launched, we knew we needed someone to help us build our fundraising program. Steve, Mark and the entire DSG team joined us, designed and implemented our communication, marketing, donor cultivation and foundation process from A to Z and have become part of our team. They are fun, work hard and have a real passion and unique skill set that has already helped us advance our mission, vision and believe that together we can make a difference. They are not just marketing, development and events but part of the overall strategy for Street GRACE. We are thrilled to have Steve and his DSG team part of our team.”
Cheryl DeLuca-Johnson - Executive Director, Street GRACE
“DSG does a marvelous job and has improved our image, marketing, communication and how we relate to our supporters by 100%. We always knew we had it, but didn't know how to articulate it or show it as well as we needed too. DSG has redefined us to our supporters as well as future foundations that are looking to fund us and has helped us attract the funding we needed and built a platform, program and process to assist us in raising the funds we need to achieve our goals and impact in Jamaica.”
Marla Day-Fitzwater - American-Caribbean Experience
"God usually gives ministry leaders an abundance of vision and passion. They see a need and have the heart to meet it. But a long term organizational strategy that includes a well connected donor base is often lacking. Those skills and more are what Steve Kaloper and his team at DSG brings to the table, and they package it with love and encouragement."
Kelly Talamo - Founder, Men Step Up
"Development Services Group has greatly helped our ministry in many ways.

Sarah Hughes - Executive Director, House of Hope, Raleigh

Their process, passion, talents and relationship credibility allowed us to see our dream begin to take shape within a few months of beginning our collaboration."
Mike Kiley - CEO, The Chamberlain Group / Founder & Chairman, Wheatstone Academy
"Following Hurricane Katrina, The Salvation Army in New Orleans was on the front lines serving thousands in need. Rebuilding our marketing, communication and donor efforts became an immediate need. Steve and his team at DSG came along our side, rolled up their sleeves and helped us strategically, serving our team, working with our local Advisory Board, and implementing solutions to help us attract the resources we needed. Steve facilitated and hosted multiple donor vision casting luncheons and did whatever it took to assist & serve The Salvation Army in New Orleans."
