Join us this June for the Partners in Mission Summer Institute. Learn More.
We partner with ambitious leaders at Catholic schools, parishes, and institutions to create a path forward guided by the Holy Spirit.
“We’re struggling to set long-term goals that are both ambitious and achievable.”
“Our current strategic plan is outdated and no longer reflects our school’s needs.”
“Our diocese needs a strategic plan that aligns with our mission.”
Shifting morals. The rise of AI. A total transformation of career paths. Strong Catholic institutions know they need to do more than keep up with change. They need to get ahead of the curve. As your partner in this mission, we will develop strategic plans that are mission-aligned, prayerfully discerned, and practically actionable.
We don’t just acknowledge your Catholic identity, we build the plan around it. Every decision, strategy, and goal is rooted in your mission, charism, audience, and brand.
We go beyond surface-level input and engage faculty, families, alumni, and donors in a process that builds unity, trust, and shared ownership of the plan’s success.
Receive growth strategies that keep your plan impactful long after delivery. Whether you're a diocesan school or a large institution, our approach is tailored for your size, governance model, and needs.
See how the most successful schools and organizations use mission-aligned strategic planning to reach their goals.
Partners in Mission first collaborated with Lancaster Catholic to establish an advancement program that fostered a culture of philanthropy. This led to their inaugural capital campaign, surpassing a $4 million goal to raise $4.5 million. Building on this success, a subsequent Strategic Planning process led to a $12 million campaign that ultimately raised $14.5 million. Now, they're engaged in a new strategic planning process to shape their next five-year vision. Lancaster Catholic exemplifies the ideal cycle of vision, planning, and execution.
