Because The Stockade Group’s advisors have collectively spent more than 60 years in your seat, we truly understand the importance of partnership and collaboration. Your strategic and tactical needs, challenges, and goals are unique to your institution. This is exactly why we have brought together a group of professionals whose backgrounds include everything from annual giving to alumni relations to corporate relations to major and planned giving.
Our team realizes that the last thing you need is a consultant who creates work in areas where you are already operating at an optimal level. We believe in a methodical step-by-step approach that is guided by candor, thoughtfulness, and transparency; and our fees are based solely on the scope of services and support required for your project or campaign.
