ISPD focuses energy on consulting, teaching, and guiding Catholic schools, parishes, and dioceses through the many areas of Development and Planning. Because ISPD associates have strong backgrounds as administrators (diocesan, parish, and school levels), development/advancement and stewardship officers, and enrollment management directors, much of the focus is working with Catholic leaders in directing and facilitating the many processes the company offers.
ISPD clients are always appreciative that the associate working with them has walked in their shoes and is able to bring many years of experience to the table. Through individual consults, workshops, on-line courses, and presentations since 1989, ISPD is proud to offer best practices from throughout the country with processes that are successful with hundreds of Catholic institutions.
Listed below are the consulting processes that ISPD offers for Catholic schools, parishes, and dioceses. Pending on the process, ISPD consulting is for a 6, 10, 12, or 15-month time-period. Delivery of these services can be either 100% on-site, 100% on-line, or a hybrid of the two; there is a different pricing structure pending on the preferred method of delivery.
