Ruotolo Associates stands apart in the nonprofit sector with over 45 years of specialized counsel and sustained success.

“George Ruotolo and his staff worked with Niagara University on its historic capital campaign, ‘The Promise of Niagara…the Next 150 Years.’ They provided us with strategic direction and also initiated a mid-campaign survey that allowed us to understand the dynamics of our efforts and how best to strategically conclude the campaign. Our goal was set at $80 million, and we concluded the campaign at more than $88 million. George worked closely with me, my staff, the President and the campaign leadership throughout their seven-year association.”

“My experience with Ruotolo has been phenomenal. When I signed a contract with Ruotolo, I figured I would get competence and experience. When the pandemic hit, I realized that I had much more. Ruotolo has given me their competence, experience, compassion, a listening ear, and perspective. I could not ask for more during a challenging yet successful year.”

“Ruotolo Associates has been a true asset in our work. They undertook a feasibility study that provided SUNY New Paltz with an honest assessment of our capacity at the time. We then followed their recommendation to put together a modest fundraising initiative while building our donor pool. Their advising has proven to be “spot on,” and the positive results are coming in. Their staff members augment the talents of my own staff and have been invaluable. I have been very pleased with our partnership!”

“The feasibility study was right on target and clear in its assessment of our strengths, challenges and opportunities. We undertook the campaign during difficult economic circumstances, and RA helped us persevere and seek every opportunity to succeed.  Thanks to RA’s strong team of professionals, and their strategic and moral support, we were successful with our 150th Anniversary Campaign.”

“The Dominican Sisters of Hope engaged Ruotolo Associates at a time when we were in a very serious and delicate transition period with our Development Office. Through their guidance, we got through a very difficult time. We found Ruotolo Associates to be very professional, competent and most of all they are ethical and have a high degree of integrity.”

“Ruotolo Associates pressed us to think bigger, guided us when to move on. They served us with integrity. Ruotolo Associates is not a typical firm – not numbers driven, but relationship oriented.”
