ADAC provides customized strategic services tailored to the unique needs of each school or system. Our collaborative approach ensures practical, mission-aligned recommendations that strengthen programs, support leadership, and create lasting impact.
Fundraising & Stewardship
ADAC helps schools and education organizations strengthen their development efforts through mission-centered stewardship strategies.
Our services include:
- Support for Annual Funds, Direct Mail campaigns, and grant development, helping organizations build a culture of philanthropy that supports long-term sustainability. For many organizations, fundraising can feel overwhelming. When ADAC partners with a school system or organization, we help leaders move beyond the uncertainty often associated with fundraising and toward a deeper understanding of stewardship as a shared responsibility between mission-driven institutions and the communities that support them.
- Campaign Feasibility Studies and Campaign Planning and Counsel, guiding organizations through the preparation and execution of major fundraising initiatives with clarity and confidence.
At its best, stewardship strengthens relationships, builds confidence among supporters, and ensures that the mission entrusted to a school or organization can continue to flourish for generations to come.
Customized Data Summits
ADAC facilitates customized Data Summits that bring school leaders and faculty together to analyze student performance data and translate insights into instructional action.
These collaborative sessions help educators:
- Identify trends
- Celebrate growth
- Develop targeted strategies to improve student outcomes across grade levels and subject areas
Development Audits
ADAC conducts development audits to evaluate an organization’s current fundraising infrastructure, donor engagement strategies, and communication practices.
This process provides leadership teams with a clear understanding of strengths, gaps, and opportunities to strengthen development systems and philanthropic support.
Case for Support Development
A compelling case for support communicates why a school’s mission matters and why investment is needed.
ADAC helps organizations articulate their vision, mission impact, and strategic priorities in a clear and inspiring way that resonates with donors, foundations, and community partners.
School Board Training & Retreats
Strong governance supports strong schools. ADAC provides training and facilitated retreats for school boards to strengthen governance practices, clarify roles and responsibilities, and align board leadership around mission, strategy, and long-term sustainability.
Strategic Planning
ADAC supports schools and educational organizations in developing strategic plans that align mission, leadership priorities, and operational goals. Through stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and facilitated planning sessions, ADAC helps organizations create clear roadmaps that guide decision-making and strengthen long-term sustainability.
