Where Philanthropy Meets Vision

Independent school advancement leadership and philanthropy management - RG175 advancement director search services

A key difference between good schools and great schools is philanthropy. Tuition is market-driven and therefore, is not a differentiator. Selecting a strong advancement leader is critical to ensuring that your school remains equal to the aspirations of your community.

Our advancement search consultants are current practitioners with a keen understanding of the demands of the role today and networks that are wide-ranging. They offer a personal approach, understanding the unique needs and ethos of your institution to best align a diverse, highly qualified pool of candidates with the skills and capacities to assist you in advancing the mission of your institution.

Advancement operation audits are available upon request.
