Jane A. Charette

"Advancement Partners tailored a program to meet our specific needs. The ongoing major gift initiative has resulted in over $1.5 million, a number that continues to grow. API provided the expertise and impetus we needed to continue our upward progress and make the significant improvements necessary to fulfill our legacy of challenging each student to be her best. St. Ursula is in a much better place today because of our relationship with Advancement Partners."

"It's easy for consultants to tell you what you are supposed to do. What I needed was leadership and hands-on help doing it. Thank goodness for Advancement Partners."

"In our previous campaign we worked with another firm. It took us 13 months to raise nearly $3 million, which was $500,000 under our goal. For this campaign, we worked with Advancement Partners. In 12 months we had surpassed our $6.5 million goal and were left with a system that has enabled us to surpass $7 million - and a way to secure major gifts long into the future."
