A Gift of Teaching:
A Long-Term Partnership with Park Tudor School

For more than a decade, Park Tudor School and Campbell & Company have formed a winning combination.

An independent, college preparatory school in Indianapolis, Park Tudor first worked with Campbell & Company in the mid-1990s when it embarked on an endowment campaign Initially, Park Tudor wasn’t sure how high to set its sights, but Campbell & Company’s philanthropic market study demonstrated that Park Tudor had strong constituent support for its plans.

Park Tudor and Campbell & Company developed a strong partnership, working together on case development, campaign publications, gift policies, volunteer and board training, and prospect management. This work was so successful Park Tudor raised its goal from $16 million to $21 million early in the campaign and eventually raised more than $23 million during its campaign, “A Gift for Teaching.”

In winter 2005, as planning for a new campaign began, the School turned to the fundraising consultants who knew it best and once again retained Campbell & Company to conduct a philanthropic market study and serve as campaign counsel. By winter 2006, Park Tudor was in the quiet phase of the subsequent campaign and on its way to a successful fundraising effort.
