Fundraising

Engaging donors builds community and strengthens the school in ways that extend well beyond the financial.

No one goes into education so that they can raise money, but rather for the love of learning and the chance to make a difference in the lives of children and young people. They are driven by mission. Yet even as these values are the foundation of the Head of School’s work, funding is the essential enabler. And to some, fundraising is unfamiliar or may be uncomfortable.   

We work with the Head of School and the school’s advancement team on such issues as:

  • Fundraising strategy
  • Campaign planning
  • Staff mentoring and coaching
  • Deepening engagement of all categories of donors

Philanthropy is above all volunteerism. Giving is a choice, ideally one that is joyful for both the donor and the school. Engaging donors builds community and strengthens the school in ways that extend well beyond the financial. It is our mission to provide thought-partnership to school leaders to help advance their mission, undertake new activity, and ensure sustainability through successful volunteer engagement and fundraising.
