PARTNERING WITH INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS

Great Schools Are Built by the Families Who Love Them.

Families may choose your school on a campus tour, but they stay because a teacher knows their child or grandchild by name and helps them find where they belong.  Philanthropy helps make possible the investments that strengthen the school experience—from attracting and retaining excellent teachers to expanding financial aid and creating classrooms, studios, and athletic spaces where students discover and explore what they’re capable of.

Winkler Group–led campaigns have helped schools exceed their fundraising goals, and many have returned to us for their next campaign. We can do the same for you.

From PreK–6 day schools to K–12 boarding schools, our consultants average 15 years of front-line fundraising experience, many with backgrounds inside school advancement offices. We bring honest, practical counsel grounded in your school’s resources, priorities, and culture.

WHAT WE DO

Expertise to Move Your Mission Forward

Whether you want to engage more families, grow your endowment, or build new facilities, we have the experience to help you reach your goals.

WHAT'S POSSIBLE

Helping Our Clients Extend Their Impact

Years after a 2005 campaign that transformed its campus, Brook Hill School in Tyler, Texas, was ready to dream big again for its academic, athletic, and residential life.

OUTCOME

Brook Hill students now learn, live, and compete in new facilities, backed by a stronger endowment that secures the school’s future. A broader vision drew nearly $29 million against an $18.5 million goal, including a lead gift that grew from $1 million to $4 million.

For years, families relocated so their children could attend Currey Ingram Academy. The school set an ambitious goal: serving students far beyond Tennessee’s borders.

OUTCOME

A student with learning differences from anywhere can now call Currey Ingram their home. The It’s Possible campaign raised more than $16 million on a $15 million goal to build the school’s first boarding facilities and grow financial aid for families around the world.

With enrollment growing and a master plan for its 72-acre campus taking shape, Greensboro Day School needed to determine how ambitious its next campaign could be.

OUTCOME

The Be BOLD campaign raised 103% of its $26 million goal. Today, students benefit from the new Preschool Center and the Center for Student Life, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation. The campaign also secured the largest single gift in the school’s 54-year history.
