With CASE behind the advancement section of DASL - Data and Analysis for School Leadership, along with National Business Officers Association at the helm of financial operations, the combined power of the NAIS DASL dataset will ensure schools have the tools and deeper insights they need for financial viability.

In this session you will learn why and how the DASL data can be useful for benchmarking and comparisons. There are significant updates to the advancement section of DASL, and includes expanded questions, analysis, and perks only for CASE members. The most important of these is the measurement of advancement effort, not just advancement results. The session will provide participants with the key measurements you should be tracking to analyze the impact of the School’s investment in the advancement program, measurements that the CASE Independent School Fundraising Awards Committee uses to identify the most productive fundraising programs.

We will describe your access to a Graphical Program Summary, which will convey graphically the fundraising progress your institution has made over time, relative to your five closest peer institutions. You will leave this session with important information and know-how that you can apply immediately when you get back to campus!
