Huron Acquires Advancement Resources, Forms Alliance with Halpin Partnership

Huron has announced it has acquired Advancement Resources, a leader in research-based, philanthropy-focused professional education services. Huron also announced it signed an agreement to join forces with Halpin Partnership, a U.K.-based management consultancy specializing in higher education fundraising, governance and strategy. By combining Advancement Resources’ distinct learning and training capabilities, Halpin Partnership’s deep U.K. higher education and nonprofit client relationships, and its current global philanthropy offerings, Huron will be able to provide comprehensive fundraising and philanthropy solutions to advance the strategy, operations, professional development, and technology supporting its clients’ missions.

"We are thrilled to welcome Advancement Resources and Halpin Partnership to the Huron team," said Mark Hussey, CEO and President of Huron. "Fundraising and philanthropy play a vital role in helping our clients sustain and invest in their missions. With the addition of Advancement Resources and Halpin Partnership, we can offer our mission-driven clients an even more comprehensive suite of services to help them achieve their philanthropic goals and move their strategies forward."

In March 2024, Huron acquired GG+A to expand its expertise in philanthropic strategy, major gift fundraising and advancement leadership. Bringing in Advancement Resources and Halpin Partnership is the latest step in the firm’s strategy to enhance its fundraising and philanthropy capabilities.
