Testimonials
"Dennis Bidwell has been tremendously
helpful in educating us all about how to
attract significant real estate gifts to
Vassar. Our retainer relationship with
Bidwell Advisors means Dennis is available
for staff training, marketing assistance,
meeting with prospects, and coaching our
staff on the range of real estate gift
structures we should be discussing with our
prospects." –
Catherine E. Baer, Vice President for
Development, Vassar College
“There has
never been a better time for charities to
pursue real estate gifts.” – Peter
Kimball, Director of Gift Planning, Harvard
University
“Dennis
provided expert leadership, negotiation and
project management skills to our land
trust’s effort to acquire an unusually
complicated conservation restriction on a
property with great environmental and
historic significance.” -- Eric Menoyo,
Director, Sudbury Valley Trustees and
Partner, Palmer & Dodge LLP
“Dennis
Bidwell combines an understanding of the
legal, financial and operational
complications of real estate with a
sensitivity to the mission and
organizational complexities of an
institution like Smith College.” – Ruth

a wonderful job presenting the complexities
of charitable real estate gift arrangements
in a highly understandable and engaging
way.” – Jan S. Adams, Senior Vice

“Dennis Bidwell has been an enormous help to
me and my siblings by clearly explaining the
complex procedures and options for land
management, conservation and family planning
decisions we are considering for three
properties that have been owned by our
family for decades.” -- Al Griggs, A.
L. Griggs Industries
“Because of
his extensive real estate background, his
understanding of how community foundations
work, and his ability to work sensitively
with donor prospects and their advisors, The
Boston Foundation turned to Dennis Bidwell
when we needed assistance in developing a
major, and very complicated, potential real
estate gift.” -- Ruben Orduña, Vice
President for Development, The Boston
Foundation
"I recently
brought Dennis in to help an aging client
identify all his options regarding possible
real estate gift structures. His depth of

my client and to me.” -- Richard Evans,
