Strategic and integrated advancement planning is essential to move an organization to the next level of excellence. Fundraising, student recruitment and retention, communication and marketing, donor cultivation and stewardship - the bottom line depends on how well a school builds and maintains relationships. We work closely with clients to shift the institutional mindset from traditional silos of activity to a comprehensive, holistic approach within not only the advancement office but throughout the entire school community. Given limited budgets and increasing needs, we help organizations identify where and how they can best leverage human and financial resources to achieve their advancement goals.

Because advancement work embraces such a broad range of activities, we provide a wide array of assistance to independent schools, colleges, and non-profit organizations, including the following:

• Comprehensive fundraising campaign development and strategic planning
• National searches for advancement professionals (development, admission, marketing)
• Financial aid analysis, strategy, and net tuition revenue model development
• Admission and enrollment program assessment and development
• Training and coaching for senior advancement professionals
• Development and implementation of integrated advancement communication plans
• Marketing, enrollment and fundraising audits to assess areas of challenge and opportunity

Every client is unique, and we take pride in our ability to determine which ISA services and expertise will provide the greatest benefit. For more information, please feel free to contact us and discuss the specific needs of your organization.
