Testimonials

The experience and personal commitment to education of the Advancement Partners team guided our campaign to exceed our expectations. Advancement Partners worked with us not for us. They were partners in our effort to encourage members of the Archbishop Spalding family to move our school to the next level. Simply put, their formula works.

Advancement Partners are a pleasure to work with. Their extensive knowledge of the critical issues surrounding Catholic schools coupled with their expertise and success in managing campaigns were the decisive factors in our selecting them as our counsel.

This is some of the BEST money we've ever spent. Advancement Partners has masterfully facilitated work we knew needed to be done for a long time but were not able to get done on our own!

The best thing I can say about Advancement Partners is that we've hired them four times - twice to help us at John Paul II Catholic School and twice to help at Pope John XXIII High School. We could not have done it without them.

Advancement Partners provided us with the strategy to cultivate donors at all levels. The guidance that they provided throughout the process was invaluable. It is not surprising that the relationship we established throughout our partnership continues well beyond our campaign.

Advancement Partners are a perfect fit for our community. With a limited staff, we now operate on a much higher level due to their expertise and insight.

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.

I had opportunities to meet many of our prospects for the campaign. It was so good to bring Advancement Partners with me because they knew the approach that was needed.
