Anyone passionate about advancing Catholic education
Headquartered in New Orleans, LA, we work exclusively with Catholic schools, parishes, and (arch)dioceses throughout the country. Our associates are Catholic leaders with over 250 years of combined experience in development/ advancement/stewardship/enrollment management.
ISPD Mission: Through consulting, coaching, and educating, we bring people, process, and ministry together to help build the Kingdom of God.
In our consulting, coaching, and teaching processes, we show how to meaningfully engage people in their mission and vision.
We are proud of our proven track record of successful partnerships with hundreds of Catholic schools, parishes, and (arch) dioceses.
We guide our Catholic clients through their challenges and help create solutions in order to support and integrate their vision, mission, and core values.
Our Assessment, Strategic Planning, Enrollment Management, Feasibility Study, Capital Campaign, Annual Fund, and Total Stewardship processes are fine-tuned for success.
From our annual Summer Development School (3-day conference) to our educational workshops, presentations, and publications, ISPD excels in our PD offerings.
Our consulting processes, online courses, and our Summer Development School are all reasonably priced.
ISPD encourages, motivates, and guides our Catholic clients to move “beyond mediocrity.”
