“Advancement Partners offers a unique Catholic perspective to fundraising. Their extensive, national experience in Catholic school philanthropy enabled Archbishop Spalding High School to exceed our campaign goal through a comprehensive and disciplined strategy. And they are always accessible for advice and counsel!”

“We worked with API for our Feasibility Study and Campaign. Don and Terry Fairholm were very professional and knowledgeable when working with us and when reporting to our Steering Committee and Board of Trustees. We worked well together during the campaign process and I feel that they listened to us and partnered with us throughout, with the shared goal of being successful.”
