The integration of business principles is essential for successful Catholic schools today. SDG Advisors is a partnership of women that specifically guides small to midsize nonprofits, primarily Catholic K-12 schools, with this integration process.

The Partners and Co-founders – Sister Ritamary Welsh, OSU and Stacey Picard – bring integrity, sensitivity and proven success in strengthening an organization’s mission with a fresh approach.  They believe that schools can be revitalized, even transformed, with this new model, and they share the following core values:

• A desire to affect systemic change by investing in faith-based education for children.
• A recognition that children of all faiths and of no faith and that those with economic means and with no means deserve the opportunities that only education can provide.
• A belief in the practical blend of business principles and commitment to mission in order to strengthen our educational institutions.
• A commitment to creative inspired responses to the ever-changing challenges in Catholic education.
• A partnership of respect and inclusion where our unique gifts, differing points of view and varied experiences are valued as opportunities for mutual growth.
