Our Work at The Carey School

The Carey School is an independent day school in San Mateo, California, with 294 students enrolled from Preschool through Fifth grade.

I began working with them in the spring of 2018 as their capital campaign counsel. Together, we completed the quiet phase of their $5 million capital campaign, with the launch of the community phase that fall.

My work with The Carey School was focused on building their capacity by training and supporting their professional and volunteer team and developing cultivation and solicitation strategies to maximize their efforts.

It was a pleasure to be retained again in the summer of 2024 to prepare the school and its Board for a capital campaign.

Warm, engaging, and insightful, Barbara has been a wonderful thought partner to The Carey School. With her deep knowledge and extensive experience in advancement, she has helped us transform best practices into actionable strategies that align with our school's mission and values. From the beginning of our last campaign to its successful completion, Barbara provided hands-on support every step of the way. Over the years, we have valued our partnership with her and look forward to continuing our collaboration with her knowing the positive impact it will bring.
