• Independent schools tend to attract higher-income families who can afford tuition and are more insulated from recession
TRENDS – THE 5%
12/06/2012 14
TRENDS – CONSTITUENTS HEAVILY INVESTED
• Constituents heavily invested in independent school s, literally & figuratively:
- Tuition has been growing 3 percentage points a year, on average, yields higher proportion of wealthier clients.
- Alumni, parents, & grandparents see direct, not indirect returns.
12/06/2012 15
TRENDS – GROWING SOPHISTICATION IN ADVANCEMENT
• Growing sophistication in advancement offices
- Schools learning stewardship and donor relations deserve concrete programmatic attention and expertise
- New awareness about how you treat existing donors in months and years after they make a gift is as productive, if not more so, than designing cultivation strategies for new donors.
12/06/2012 16
TRENDS – DEVELOPMENT OFFICE
• Growth in development office duties, titles, staffi ng
- Return = 3-to-5 times investment
- Average advancement office = 1 person, with modest outcomes
- Heaviest staffed schools produce the big results

• Early and persistent cultivation of donors- Identify class agents & class gifts early; cultivate them annually
• Tell compelling stories that focus on people- ‘Sticky’ messages & market segmentation
• Communicate with donors using vehicles they prefer, including mobile and digital media- Don’t assume generational rules of thumb apply to all
WHAT’S WORKING
12/06/2012 19
WHAT’S WORKING
• Annual Campaigns with distinctive identities- “Fill the tuition/expense gap” not inspiring anymore (if it ever was)- Lots of annual giving restricted options by themes and programs
• Board Contracts with “giving & solicitation expectat ions” articulated
12/06/2012 20
WHAT’S WORKING
• Staffing up- Major gift officer for prospect identification, courting, soliciting, closing &
moving on- The new Pyramid of Giving: 95/5 rule
• Feasibility studies on inclination, and on philanth ropic capacityof donor base:- Electronic wealth screening makes analysis of overall capacity an accessible
& attractive avenue of pursuit- Estimating capacity (on shoestring budget) by using public data
