Henry Freeman began his management and fundraising career at Yale University where he served as Executive Director of Dwight Hall, the center for volunteer and community service at Yale. During his thirty-five year career he has served on the governing boards of more than 25 institutions and agencies ranging from private secondary schools to international non-profit organizations.

Immediately prior to establishing his consulting firm in 1993, Dr. Freeman served for six years as Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Earlham College. The primary focus of his work as Vice President was the planning and implementation of a $37 million capital campaign and oversight of all fundraising, marketing, and communications activities for the College.

Prior to his tenure as vice president at Earlham, Henry served as a Director of Major Gifts at The University of Michigan where his primary responsibility was the identification, cultivation, and solicitation of gifts of $100,000 or more. While at Michigan, he also directed a successful $9.7 million campaign for construction of the W. K. Kellogg Eye Center, a state of the art facility affiliated with the University's healthcare and hospital system.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Wofford College in South Carolina, Dr. Freeman also holds a Masters of Divinity degree from Yale and the Ph.D. in higher education administration from The University of Michigan. His dissertation in the area of enrollment planning and merit-based scholarships received academic honors from the University upon its completion in 1986. His research findings also received national recognition two years earlier at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Higher Education and in subsequent years has been credited with shaping the future of merit-based scholarship programs both nationally and at individual colleges and universities throughout the country.

An active Quaker, Henry Freeman's philanthropic interests center around his work with poor and orphaned children in El Salvador, a country he has visited over 25 times since his initial trip in 1986. In 1992, following a year in residence at a Salvadoran orphanage, he founded the El Salvador Children's Scholarship Fund through which over 200 poor and orphaned children (pre-K through university) have received scholarships to attend school.
