About us
Advancement Resources is the world leader in philanthropic research, breakthrough thinking about philanthropy, and development training. Our extensive curriculum features targeted, robust workshops designed to create powerful learning experiences that help participants build their organization's culture of philanthropy. Development training, like fundraising, isn't just for development professionals. Academic leaders, deans faculty, medical and healthcare professionals, support staff, and volunteers all play critical roles in successful resource development. Each workshop in our curriculum has been designed by professional instructional designers to provide the precise knowledge, skills, and learning experience required by the target audience. Additionally, the Advancement Resources team custom designs workshops to meet the specific needs of clients and participants. In March 2025 the Huron team welcomed Advancement Resources into their family. We are incredibly excited for how this partnership will bring more valuable research, experience, and support to the philanthropic community. As we join the incredible team at Huron we will continue to engage everyday with the partners and clients that brought us to this moment. We thank you for your incredible support, belief in meaningful transformational philanthropy, and for your ongoing encouragement.

A fun reflection after a week of travel… Thank you Ben and Mauria!
Mauria Brough it was an absolute delight to see you leading over 150 volunteers, deans, and development professionals through an exploration of their impact stories. ‘sweet success’ for me is a chance to teach with you at one of our country’s top research institutions. Almost 30 years ago I remember you joining Joe and a small but mighty team in Cedar Rapids. You had the ambitious goal of changing the world - one audience at a time. We’re still chasing that thrill today, and now with our new team @ Huron.
