Development

Founded from a bequest of Harriet Lane Johnston, St. Albans School has thrived because of the people, primarily faculty, that its philanthropy has helped attract and retain. I can't think of a better explanation or introduction to the role philanthropy and fundraising play than the opening letter sent by our Governing Board Chair in the fall of the 2011-2012 academic year.

The letter is linked below as a PDF and is well worth the read -- not only for St. Albans but if you work / volunteer on your church, synagogue, mosque, or any nonprofit board, I think this is the letter you want your chair to send to the wider community.
