ISPD Planning Processes

Institute for School and Parish Development offers a variety of processes to help grow your parish or school. We also work with (arch)dioceses to assist in strategic planning and setting up formats, processes, and structures for advancement and enrollment management success.

Capital Campaigns

ISPD faciliates and manages capital campaigns for schools and parishes. We provide a hands-on approach, leading the faith community through the five stages of a campaign.

Operational Vitality Assessments

ISPD Assessments thoroughly examine your school/parish’s operational vitality efforts.

Strategic Growth Planning

Set a course for your school or parish’s future with one of ISPD’s Strategic Planning Processes.

Enrollment Management

ISPD helps Catholic schools maintain and/or increase the quantity, quality, or diversity of your elementary or secondary Catholic school enrollment.

Annual Funds

ISPD takes a comprehensive approach to the Annual Fund. Included in this process is a major gift component to boost one-on-one relationship building.

Alumni Involvement

Using a personalized approach, ISPD works with Catholic schools to show them how connect and expand their alumni base while enlisting decade chairs and class reps.

Total Stewardship

A step-by-step method to reach every family in the parish and invite them to share gifts of prayer, service, and finance.

Long Range Pastoral Planning

This process plans for the future in all areas of the parish – Liturgy, Worship, Education, Administration and Finance, Total Stewardship and Development, Facilities, Ministries, Youth and Family Life, Communication and Sacramental preparation.

AWE Process (Affirming, Welcoming and Engaging People)

This process works to engage many people in the parish who do not attend Mass on a regular basis, and do not see themselves as active members of their faith community.

ISPD Coaching Process

The ISPD Coaching Process is designed for one or more Catholic schools/parishes. It consists of a mix of group workshops and individual coaching sessions on the meaning, value, and implementation of a vibrant Catholic school/parish development/stewardship effort.

These programs can be tailored to an individual school/parish or across multiple schools/parishes in a (arch)diocese. Our coaching programs are perfect for new administrators as well as seasoned professionals.

Development/Stewardship

This process will help teach schools/parishes how to move beyond fundraising and establish long-term development/stewardship processes.

Enrollment Management

Our Enrollment Growth Strategies are tailored for Catholic institutions, focusing on faith-based community engagement and retention. We employ data-driven approaches to attract families seeking a value-centered education.

Leadership Coaching

This coaching process helps Catholic school and parish leaders learn the critical role that operational vitality plays in their Catholic institution.

Everything begins with your mission, vision and core values!

ISPD’s processes are rooted in ministry. At ISPD we help you invite people to believe in your vision and mission – and invest in its success.
