Our Clients
“NewSouth AssociatesNS did everything we could have asked for…and much more. Their consultants’ combined years of educational and business expertise, coupled with an entrepreneurial and out-of-the box way at looking at education, really allowed us to do a number of things at our school that were critical to our growth and development. And, when it came to conducting a search for our new Headmaster, they were unbelievably thorough. They did an excellent job getting to know the school and candidates; recruited aggressively but wisely for us; and, when it came to crunch time, offered sage advice that helped us get just the right person. Whether it was through helping us raise funds, communicate with our constituents, improve our governance structure, or find both upper and middle management talent, NewSouth AssociatesNS was a true God-send for our school.”

“NewSouth Associates’NS grant writing was critical to our early success. Their work on our start-up grant proposal to The Foundation For The Carolinas produced ‘the best proposal (they) have ever received.’ The Foundation awarded us a three-year grant of $350,000. NewSouth AssociatesNS works hard to understand the organization and, in turn, portray a picture that is complete and compelling. I turn to them for all our foundation proposal needs.”

“As a newcomer to Development, I would have been lost without NewSouth Associates’NS guidance, and I so appreciate all the time they spent with us. It was incredibly helpful for me to ask so many questions and to learn from their experience. Their advice is fabulous, and their practical approach is exactly how I like to learn. They know SO much about running an annual fund, and I really can’t express enough how much more confident I feel in this position after all their advice.”
