The Donovan Group LLC, founded in 2004, is a communications and community engagement firm that focuses exclusively on education. Over the years, its work has involved some of the most critical and urgent issues facing our schools, districts and educational organizations. In all of our work, we emphasize engaging community members in the challenges
and opportunities of their local public schools.
The firm’s clients range from large urban schools and districts to small, one-school rural districts inside and outside of Wisconsin. The firm also provides communications services and consulting to various state and national associations and organizations.
Services provided include a wide range of areas, including work with districts in advance of a capital or operational referendum, developing and executing communications plans, writing news releases and assisting in the organization of community events. We also provide graphic and website design and communications assistance on many different issues, including difficult subjects like Wisconsin school finance and changes in state- and federal-level educational policy.
