Whether you already have an Advancement person or are looking to develop an Advancement Program, we can help you to avoid costly errors resulting from an unfocused fundraising plan, a lack of resources for the Advancement position, and other missteps that can cost the school badly needed funds.
Many schools use up the intellectual and emotional currency of their Board, administration and parents planning capital projects that are based upon a future-focused funding strategy. Very few of these projects are completed because at the outset, the schools did not have a realistic concept of how much money could actually be raised. This can, at best, delay a project and at worst, postpone it indefinitely because the credibility within the school community has been eroded. On the other hand, parents and Boards enthusiastically support a project that is pre-planned and funded. They can participate knowing the end result is achievable and that their time is productively spent
