Maximizing Online Giving at Independent Schools

We’re proud to share that Director of Advancement Services Kristin Reese ’08 recently represented Chatham Hall at the 2025 GiveCampus Partners Conference in Washington, D.C., where she was invited to present on online giving strategies for independent schools.

Kristin’s presentation highlighted Chatham Hall’s significant growth in online giving since partnering with GiveCampus in September 2024. Her insights drew from the School’s efforts to make giving easier, more accessible, and more meaningful for our community, from seamless digital platforms to compelling giving campaigns that resonate with donors.

A major highlight came during the conference’s plenary session when Chatham Hall was recognized for achieving an incredible 300% increase in online gifts in less than a year. A photo shared by GiveCampus captured the moment, showcasing Chatham Hall as a model for how independent schools can leverage innovation and storytelling to inspire generosity.

As we continue to build a culture of philanthropy at Chatham Hall, we’re grateful for Kristin’s leadership and the broader Advancement team’s commitment to deepening engagement through modern, mission-aligned approaches. Stay tuned for even more exciting developments in the year ahead!
