Utilizing our in-depth approach to successful campaign planning and execution, combined with our understanding of the Washington, DC landscape, we evolved the Building Dreams plan that leveraged the campaign’s central strengths: a phenomenal funding partner who pledged half of the total campaign, a superior educational leader and board, as well as cutting-edge infrastructure to support the campaign. On January 7, 2026, after a three-year capital campaign, Washington School for Girls (WSG) opened its doors in an all-new 33,000 square foot state of-the art facility that has been called “an investment in the girls east of the river.” 

Addressing the critical issue of closing the income and education gap by providing the highest-level educational experience, Washington School for Girls is an all-scholarship Catholic school serving students in grades 3-8 primarily from Wards 7 and 8 in the District of Columbia. Originally on two separate campuses, WSG was presented with the transformative opportunity to build a state-of-the-art school at THEARC, Washington’s premiere campus of 14 nonprofits, the largest center for nonprofit collaboration in the country. Schultz & Williams delved deep into the case for support and focused on the role of the School’s significant leadership to reach the campaign goal and bring the new school to fruition.
