K–22 Quaker School Appoints Higher Ed Fundraising Professional to Lead Institutional Giving
The Quaker School at Horsham
Located just north of Philadelphia, The Quaker School at Horsham (TQS) is a K–22 community serving students with complex challenges, including ADHD, learning differences, autism, and anxiety. Serving approximately 100 students, TQS provides a highly relational, research-informed environment where students are known well, supported deeply, and given the tools to build meaningful and independent lives. Rooted in Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, the school fosters a culture that is warm, mission-driven, and centered on belonging.
As TQS continues to grow and expand its impact, the school is focused on strengthening its philanthropic efforts to support both programmatic innovation and access for students and families. Central to this work is the development of new and sustainable revenue streams aligned with the school’s mission and long-term vision.
To support this next phase, TQS sought an associate director of institutional giving. This role will help lead fundraising efforts connected to a potential new federal tax credit program, while also expanding corporate partnerships and foundation support. Although the role may contribute to existing Pennsylvania tax credit efforts through corporate relationships, its primary focus is the emerging federal opportunity, should it be approved in Pennsylvania for 2027. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated, entrepreneurial fundraiser who is energized by building new programs, engaging a wide range of stakeholders, and delivering measurable results. The associate director will play a critical role in expanding the school’s fundraising capacity while helping to tell the story of TQS in compelling and mission-aligned ways.
The Quaker School at Horsham was thrilled to welcome Kristen Egan to the position.
