Supporting the Courtauld Institute during its Transformational £100 Million Campaign

Challenge

The Courtauld Institute approached Philanthropy Company to provide interim fundraising leadership during a period of change at one of the world’s leading higher education arts institutions. At the time, the Courtauld had just launched an ambitious £100 million campaign built around three pillars: capital, scholarship, and endowment.

Our Response

Consultant Peter O’Connor was appointed as Interim Deputy Director to support the Director in managing the team and overseeing the planning and delivery of key aspects of this transformational campaign.

Impact

As the work progressed, several additional projects emerged where Philanthropy Company was able to add value. Experienced consultant Emma Lacroix provided extra capacity in trusts, foundations, and stewardship, helping to communicate the impact of the Courtauld’s work to some of the world’s leading arts funders. In addition, our prospect research specialist, Edward Raichura-Brown, delivered targeted projects to support fundraising for scholarships and research initiatives aligned with the campaign’s pillars.

At Philanthropy Company, we pride ourselves on working as an extension of our clients’ teams, supporting leading education institutions in planning and delivering campaigns, and ensuring fundraising teams achieve their objectives. We have greatly enjoyed working alongside the Courtauld Institute on this rewarding campaign. We were delighted that the Courtauld chose to extend our partnership by renewing Peter’s role.
