Our philosophy at FORD & ASSOCIATES is to offer professional, objective and experienced development guidance in a partnership with our independent school clients.

Our comprehensive approach to development counsel integrates annual, capital and planned giving programs in pursuit of short- and long-term goals. The goals of our capital campaigns have ranged from $1.5M to $50M.

Successful fundraising is predicated on healthy, caring relationships. Each client is serviced by a team of specialists insuring a balanced perspective. Client relationships begin with a meeting of staff and volunteers.

Our mission is to bring our consulting expertise to independent school development professionals in a way that makes their jobs easier.
