The Saklan School is a preschool - 8th grade independent school serving 145 students in Moraga, CA. The school specializes in project-based learning -- and did so long before the concept became popular.
I was retained to conduct a campaign readiness and development program appraisal in the spring of 2025 and continued the work by conducting a feasibility study and some solicitation training for Board members.
"Barbara Barron brought a wealth of independent school expertise to Saklan, providing us with a clear-eyed feasibility study that helped us think deeply about next steps.
Beyond the study, her guidance on our fundraising practices was instrumental in helping us grow our Annual Giving Fund by 15% this year.
She is as personable as she is professional, and I highly recommend her to any school looking to elevate its development efforts."
