There are two options available for annual giving consulting.

The first option: a thorough onsite assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your School's annual fund program. We spend two days on campus, interviewing staff, donors and volunteers. We will review all areas of the development office and provide a written report with specific recommendations to help the School maximize its annual fund activity.

The second option: a one-day workshop in our office, Jump Start your Annual Fund is a full day, one-on-one mentoring session with our Annual Fund Specialist. Come to our Atlanta office with your Annual Fund plan in hand; we will ask questions, analyze it, share ideas from other successful independent school Annual Fund campaigns, and provide answers to your questions. Don’t have an Annual Fund plan? We’ll help you create one, tailored to your needs. You’ll leave Atlanta armed with effective materials, good ideas, and a fresh perspective that you can take back to your office and put to immediate use.

"FORD & ASSOCIATES helped us get our inaugural Annual Fund off the ground and it is now soaring! Their independent school knowledge and experience saved us time and energy and dramatically increased our results."
