Masterworks®, one of the leading marketing and development agencies for Christian organizations in the United States, announces the acquisition of TouchPoint Solutions, the premier consulting and training firm in the field of major donor development.

In announcing the acquisition, Stephen Woodworth, President of Masterworks®, stated that "TouchPoint Solutions enhances our capacity to ensure seamless integration between major donor and general donor communications."

Woodworth continued to say, "Christian charities are struggling with how to integrate their general donor and major donor communications. The acquisition of TouchPoint Solutions will enable Masterworks® to meet the growing demand for cohesive general and major donor strategies."

Butch Maltby, founder of TouchPoint Solutions asserted that, "Masterworks® is the most innovative marketing agency I know, but equally important is the alignment of our corporate values and approach to fundraising."

Maltby's role as a senior advisor to Masterworks® is to integrate the entire suite of product offerings of TouchPoint Solutions, such as the Asking Institute, A Day of Discovery, Development Boot Camp, campaign consulting and corporate and foundation giving. Ross Arnold, with over 20 years of development experience, will be heading up this new division for Masterworks®.

The Asking Institute is a 2-1/2 day intensive training for people to become more effective one-to-one fundraisers. The first Asking Institute under the Masterworks® banner will be take place February 2006.

Ending his official career in the consulting realm, Butch Maltby has accepted the position of President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews; a nonprofit organization dedicated to building bridges of understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians.
