Welcome to 2019's first issue of TAGlines. I've recently returned from the CASE-NAIS Conference in Philadelphia, where I moderated a panel with leadership from the Foote School. Our topic, "Hitting Singles and Doubles: Building Your Pipeline with Mid-Level Gifts," was all about making the most of every gift

and stewarding every donor

to realize the school's potential. Helping Foote organize and move through the campaign process has been an extremely rewarding opportunity for my colleagues and me.

Passion Projects: A New Era of Philanthropy
In today’s world, a growing concern is stirring regarding the idea that philanthropy—the concept of charitable giving to support nonprofit organizations and, in turn, people—is detrimental to our society. Public perception of philanthropists characterizes these “do-gooders” as distant from the problems they seek to alleviate. But philanthropists are no different than the people we interact with every day.

School of the Blessed Sacrament
|

Founded in 1903, School of the Blessed Sacrament (SBS) is a Catholic school on New York City's Upper West Side that has provided Catholic education to children of all backgrounds and faiths. In September 2019, SBS will merge with Sacred Heart of Jesus School (SHJS) and open a two-campus, one school model. The Lower School (preK 3 - 3rd Grade) will be on West 70th Street in the current SBS building and the Upper School (4th Grade - 8th Grade) moves to 456 West 52nd Street in the current SHJS building. With this merger comes a number of capital projects. TAG is working with SBS to help raise the funds for these projects.
To jump start the project, The John and Daria Barry Foundation made a gift of $1.2 million to fund a STEM center. The center will be named after the Barrys in honor of their generosity. School of the Blessed Sacrament is excited to begin construction over the summer.
