Fundraising Consulting for Independent Schools
Day schools. Boarding schools. Faith-based schools. College Prep and International schools. Schools serving students with learning differences.
We Understand Independent School Philanthropy
Fundraising at an independent school requires careful coordination.
Parents’ experiences can shape philanthropic support. The Head of School is often a highly visible relationship-builder. Board members and volunteers must connect with families across grade levels and constituencies. Faculty and staff can also be important advocates for the school’s plans.
How We Help
Rather than offering disconnected services, we bring fundraising, communications, data, and operations expertise together through one integrated service model.
Every engagement is guided by the decisions leaders need to make and the future they want to create.

Fundraising Rooted in Mission
Faith-based schools bring together education, values, tradition, and community. Our recommendations are grounded in each school’s institutional values and teachings, honoring how its mission helps students grow into responsible, successful young people.
Ground the Case in Mission
Connect priorities such as financial aid, faculty, programs, facilities, and long-term sustainability to the faith identity and educational values that make the school distinct.
Engage the Whole Community
Invite parents, alumni, grandparents, board members, faculty, staff, and the broader faith community into the process. Their perspectives can build shared ownership and strengthen the case for support.
Prepare Leaders to Carry the Vision
Equip school leaders and volunteers with clear language, meaningful roles, and the confidence to communicate why the campaign matters and inspire others to participate.
“There are consultants, and then there are partners. We are an independent school that can only go so far with the increasing demands on our goals and staff. That’s why it’s a sound business decision to partner with Campbell & Company. From a communications perspective, they have been invaluable.”
