The Business Office’s Essential Role in Campaign Readiness
Presented by: Phil Higginson | Advancement, Governance & Finance Consultant at Independent School Management (ISM)
Successful fundraising campaigns don’t start with donor outreach—they begin with a financially stable, strategically prepared institution.

From summer camps and facility rentals to after-school programs and strategic partnerships, these initiatives offer exciting opportunities for schools to expand their impact while bolstering financial sustainability. However, success in auxiliary programming requires thoughtful planning and alignment with a school’s strategic priorities. This session will explore key considerations for developing, expanding, and optimizing auxiliary programs, drawing on national trends, case studies from boarding and day schools, and proven best practices.
