Donors support high education institutions for many reasons and at many levels and we believe that donor stewardship is the key to developing deep, meaningful relationships.
We help our high education clients celebrate the impact that donors are making by creating recognizing programs that share the institution story and highlight philanthropy in action. Our team is expert at creating intimate recognition moments for donors within the context of a larger celebration. Whether a gala for a 500 to celebrate the impact individual major gifts or an intimate celebration for 20 to honor a multi-million gift we are the experts crafting the recognition programs for donors today and the donors of tomorrow.
Masters of Ceremony
Nothing says higher education quite like the pomp and circumstance of convocation, commencement, white coat and the myriad of ceremonies held each year.
Annual capstone ceremonies require a high degree of precision and attention to detail to ensure that year over year traditions are upheld and the ceremony is consistent with the institutions brand. We work with universities to create, refresh and maintain their most sacred of ceremonies. Our team partners with clients to uncover the traditions that are unique to the university. We then ensure those traditions come alive, time and time again while taking the production lift off of the internal team so you can focus on what matters most – your students.
