The Client
Socrates is a Hellenic charter school in North Carolina. Sharity was engaged to lead Socrates Academy’s 2023strategic planning and segmented capital campaign process to raise $21M.
The Need
Socrates Academy needed to define a three-yearstrategic plan and develop a capital campaign to enablethe construction of a new high school building and the expansion of its programming. Socrates had never engaged in any fundraising beyond that done by the parent and student-led events.
The Results
Sharity built out Socrates’s fundraising infrastructure, which included developing an economic impact report, outcome measures and cultivating donors for an eight-figure gift. Designed for long-term sustainability, Sharity developed an integrated parent-family support plan, and alumni association. Several cabinets were built, which included founders to national leaders. Once the campaign was well underway, Sharity assisted with the identification and onboarding of a new major gifts officer to lead the fundraising efforts into the future. Socrates has broken ground and is anticipating cutting the ribbon on the new High School in 2025.
