ChalkBooks automates your time-consuming school development work, helping free up your time to cultivate larger gifts.
ChalkBooks is the only school development and donor management platform built for K-12 schools by leading school development leaders.
Working with Catholic schools, we know that exceeding development goals with limited staff and resources can be challenging.
Many Catholic schools are dealing with significant operating challenges, including aging buildings and continued pressure on the salaries and benefits of their staff. Many school leaders ask themselves: “How will my school sustain long-term when the budget and development goals continue to go up but the budget for staff and resources isn’t increasing fast enough to keep pace?”
St. Peter Claver, Bishop Larkin Catholic School, Morning Star School, St. Anthony School, and many other independent schools realized it was existential to have a development partner whose sole goal is to ensure their success.
Are you curious how ChalkBooks could help your school?

The H&A mission for the past 21 years has been to help Catholic Schools stay alive and to thrive. Through our Master Planning Process, we have aided in engaging the entire school community, from faculty, staff, students, families, and alumni to the community at-large in a process that renews excitement, re-establishes communication and connections, revitalizes the staff, and conducts a process that establishes a solid path forward for the school.
