CPR is proud to have played a key role in Chapin's $75-million campaign from 2006 until the present. Chapin makes champions, by virtue of teaching young girls to become powerful women. As the School has made rapid progress towards its goal, CPR has produced the best, most cost effective work available today.
From 1998-06, CPR managed all prospect research for the top community hospital in the country, on an outsourced basis. Having grown up in Westchester and Fairfield counties, Mr. Halpern knows the terrain well. CPR understands that discretion actually enhances effectiveness, while not limiting results.
In 1997, CPR's principal served as a senior consultant for the American Museum of Natural History's during the final phase of its capital campaign. The museum does pioneering biodiversity work. As endangered species go extinct around the globe at disturbingly record paces, museum scientists are teaching mankind respect for the natural world via compelling installations such as the Dzanga-Sangha Rainforest within the Hall of Biodiversity.
Tim Halpern was primary author of solicitation strategies for twenty individuals capable of $1-5 million gifts at the Museum. Mr. Halpern was responsible for making the match between different gift opportunities and donor interests. Philanthropy can be intergenerational. Frequently the Museum would solicit donors with whom the institution had been involved for more than 50 years. One challenge was developing family gift opportunities. Developing gift opportunities also required Mr. Halpern to work with scientists on enhancing the marketability of their technical vocabulary. Tim Halpern helped them make that case.
The College Fund raises money on behalf of thirty nine Historically Black Colleges. Every day, Mr. Halpern worked directly with fundraisers and administrators at each of the thirty nine member schools. Big picture thinking kept both campaign staff and member schools positively focused on getting the job done. The College Fund succeeds because it has to, as it offers young people the critical opportunities they need to invest in their futures and build their dreams. CPR is honored to have helped the College Fund meet its goals.
