"NESsT is helping the nascent central European charitable sector to start with the best practices of sustainability and build a strong foundation for the future...ensuring that the right mix of commerciality gets in early to the sector's development."

- William Watson, Société Générale Asset Management (Paris)

"The wisdom in NESsT's approach is recognizing the fact that nonprofits need sustainable sources of financing and that traditional philanthropy alone is not sufficient to ensure their long-term survival."

- Moises Eilemberg, Pacific Onset Capital (Los Angeles)

 

"NESsT's focus on business skills and financial discipline results in large and lasting contributions towards the sustainability of nonprofit organizations as well as greater support and awareness among potential donors and investors."

- Laurie Spengler, ShoreBank International (Chicago)

 

“I think the NESsT strategy of social change is the only way that works -- through empowering individuals ready to make that change. The NESsT team is comprised of top notch individuals with a high level of commitment and knowledge.”
- David Yanovich, Galileo Investments (Bogotá, Colombia) Former IBAN member and current BAN member
