Who We Serve

Independent Schools

Raising extraordinary amounts of money for your school’s campus takes significant planning and vision. Independent schools and universities face many unique challenges that make their fundraising campaigns different from other organizations. From balancing the perception that tuition covers all of the school’s needs to competing with multiple boosters and auxiliaries for funding, we understand the particular difficulties facing your development office.

For years, Mission Advancement has helped independent schools develop a well-conceived strategy for fundraising that enables them to raise exceptional amounts while protecting – and even growing – annual giving.

“Mission Advancement has changed the way that ChildFund approaches major and principal gifts. We have seen substantial growth in a short period of time and our work with MAP has exceeded our expectations.”

“We made the decision to hire MAP for our capital campaign after interviewing many firms around the United States. This is a group of extraordinary people who will help you achieve your goals. In addition to leading our capital campaign, MAP has helped us better engage our donors in Mobile Loaves and Fishes’ annual funding needs, and we have experienced tremendous results.”

Faith-based Ministries

Often, nonprofits whose mission is rooted in scripture are advised to downplay their faith in fundraising efforts. We believe the opposite is true. People provide generous support to organizations they are passionate about because it aligns with their own values and enriches their lives. Connecting your donors to your mission is critical for long-term financial sustainability.

Few nonprofits challenge their donors to give significantly, and likewise few donors give to capacity. Your donors are committed to your mission, let’s inspire them to do something greater. We can show you how to be true to your mission, your faith, and your fundraising to impact even more lives and bring your vision to life.

“We began working with MAP just before the country went into recession. They encouraged us to stay the course with our capital campaign and in our first year with them we raised $3M in pledges toward the campaign while at the same time increasing operating revenue by 17.5%. They helped us to recruit and train volunteers to lead our campaign and have helped us build a strong cabinet. MAP’s investment in the work of Breakthrough has been a great asset and I have been recommending them to my friends in ministry leadership.”
