CASE STUDY

Fordham Preparatory School

Fordham Preparatory School, located in The Bronx, NY, is a distinguished all-male, Jesuit Catholic high school. With an endowment of $48 million and a remarkable fundraising achievement, surpassing a campaign target of $70 million, Fordham Prep exemplifies the success of our collaborative efforts in educational fundraising. During our tenure as campaign counsel, we helped elevate the campaign's target from $50 million to $70 million, showcasing Fordham Prep’s capacity for securing transformational gifts that leave a lasting mark on the school. Serving a student body of 950, and supported by 79 faculty and 43 staff members, our role extended beyond fundraising to significantly enhance the school’s strategic initiatives.

Post-campaign, TAG implemented several key projects, including a new parent engagement program and enhanced prospect research capabilities. These initiatives are pivotal in strengthening Fordham Prep's ongoing fundraising efforts and supporting its educational mission more effectively.
