About Us

Advancement Partners - we chose our name purposely because it reflects exactly who we are: we do not simply consult, we work with you in a collaborative partnership that maximizes results.

Owner and President Terry Fairholm is a product of Catholic education, a University of Notre Dame graduate ('78 BBA, '82 MBA) and former Regional Director of Development at the University of Notre Dame.

We specialize in institutional advancement consulting and capital campaign management for Catholic secondary education.

We are experienced; we have been in this business for over 20 years and have managed over 150 Catholic high school capital campaigns.

We are regular presenters at national conferences and have contributed articles to national publications.
