We have been advising schools and colleges on how to raise capital funds and establish sustainable ongoing fundraising programmes since the early 1960s. Schools and colleges are, by their nature, closed constituencies of parents, alumni and other stakeholders who value their work and, if asked in the right way, will give back to them.
We work with governing bodies, leadership teams and Development Offices in two main areas:
St Peter’s – one of the world’s oldest schools – will celebrate its 1,400th anniversary in 2027. but is looking to the future through a capital fundraising campaign that will ensure the school thrives over the next 100 years. We worked alongside the Headmaster and the St Peter’s Development team to test, plan and kickstart the “Keys for Life” bursary campaign.
Our work with Wycombe Abbey began in 2014 to restructure the School’s Development Office. We went on from the initial fundraising strategy review to plan and manage a successful capital campaign, including the largest single gift in the school’s history. We also built on the momentum of the capital campaign with the introduction of structured and proactive annual giving and legacy campaigns.
Mount Kelly’s spectacular location in Tavistock, the gateway to Dartmoor National Park, offers a wide range of options for outdoor education and co-curricular activities. High academic standards and a proven track record in public examination results is complemented by an elite international swimming programme and a partnership with Chelsea FC to develop high-performance girls football. We are working with the Headmaster and Governors to test and plan the next stages of the College’s capital development plans.
Victoria College has been building futures as an iconic part of Jersey’s heritage since it was founded in 1852 by Queen Victoria – aiming high for Jersey students and providing the best quality education and widest range of opportunities. We are working alongside the Victoria College Foundation to develop a plan to enhance its bursary provision.
QMGS was founded in 1554 by Mary Tudor and is one of the oldest schools in the country. We worked with the school on its successful £1 million “The Gift of Learning” capital campaign for a Sixth Form Centre in 2009. We are currently working with the School on a capital campaign to improve sports facilities, both for the school and the wider community.
