Feasibility Study

Since 2007, St Andrew’s Cathedral School (SACS) and Gawura School have delivered a culturally inclusive, high-impact education for First Nations students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Philanthropy has been a significant enabler for this work to flourish and grow. As SACS looks ahead to the next phase of strengthening the program, the School engaged J9 to explore future opportunities for strategic investment and continued community support.

Back To Case Studies

Approach

The study undertook a forward-looking review of the current fundraising landscape, including analysis of donor motivations, prospective supporter segments, and opportunities for growth. J9 assessed the potential for achieving future fundraising goals and provided return-on-investment projections, alongside strategic insights to proactively position SACS for success.

Impact

J9 delivered a comprehensive, market-informed assessment that equips SACS with a clear and optimistic roadmap for strengthening and scaling its fundraising program - ensuring the continued growth and long-term sustainability of this transformative educational offering.

In Their Words

Lyn Jarvis, Director of Community Engagement, St Andrew's Cathedral School
Working with J9 Consultancy was a positive experience from start to finish. They took the time to really understand our school, our current fundraising practices, and what we needed from the feasibility study. Their approach was thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely collaborative. They listened carefully and worked alongside us to find practical, realistic next steps, demonstrating a thorough understanding of the current First Nations philanthropic landscape. The work was delivered on time, to a high standard, at a realistic cost. Most importantly, Janine and Camille were an absolute pleasure to work with being approachable, insightful, and entirely without the pretence that can sometimes come with consultancy work.
