Achieve Your Dreams, Meet Your Needs
The ultimate goal for every Catholic and Private School administrator is to have classrooms filled with engaged students. Each school has a unique path to reaching that goal. For some, it’s new turf on the athletic fields to attract the community’s top athletes and give them a competitive edge. For others, it’s an updated fine arts center or STEM labs to compete with local public schools. And for others still, the path to success is a new roof, windows, parking lot, or HVAC system. The point is, no matter what you need to meet the needs of the students, the Ruotolo Associates team is ready to help get you there!
We pride ourselves on excellent client service and collaborative efforts. Your staff knows your community; our staff knows and incorporates best practices in fundraising and planning. Together, we will help you engage your constituents to raise the financial needed resources to achieve your vision and attract more students to your school.
We recognize that your school is an organization with many needs, dreams, and stakeholders. Our goal is to assist your community in achieving its needs and dreams. While our core business is philanthropy, to accomplish the major projects you envision, we offer wraparound services to help you identify strategic organizational opportunities to continue the positive momentum for years to come. Additionally, RA brings extensive experience to provide comprehensive Executive Search Services, when talent is your need.
Using research and data to guide our capital campaigns is what set us apart 45 years ago. More recently, we have formed a partnership with the country’s foremost Catholic school market data research and strategic planning firm, Meitler, to deliver seamless services to our clients. By having a team of strategic planning experts working hand-in-hand with fundraising experts, we will efficiently and painlessly guide you to achieving your vision.
