Todd Gibbs joined Ruotolo Associates in September 2004 and has since worked with a diverse group of clients on complex projects, successfully directing numerous institutional and parish capital campaigns along with feasibility and planning studies.  He has provided distinguished counsel to clients in the areas of capital campaigns, major gifts, stewardship, development office operations, strategic planning, volunteer management, board development, special events and public relations. 

Todd’s extensive fundraising and management experience, specifically with faith-based organizations, coupled with his educational background and ability to collaborate with staff, clients and volunteers alike make him ultimately qualified to serve as Director of the Church Division at Ruotolo Associates. In this capacity, he is charged with addressing the philanthropic and stewardship education needs of our religious clients while adhering to the distinct charism of each community. Additionally, Todd is responsible for the Division’s marketing efforts.

Todd first worked with Ruotolo Associates while serving as the associate director of development and director of alumni affairs at Holy Cross High School in Waterbury, CT. At Holy Cross, Todd developed the school’s alumni program and worked closely with Ruotolo Associates to plan and execute the school’s first major capital initiative to construct a new arts and technology center. Todd was recruited by his alma mater, Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT, where, prior to joining Ruotolo, he managed all aspects of the University’s 25,000 member alumni association and a parent program that served 6,500 families.  

Todd also transcends Ruotolo Associates’ commitment to community service and volunteer activity. Todd recently established a development program for St. Francis of Assisi School in Naugatuck, CT, and is a board-member elect for the independent St. Francis School Association Foundation. Todd remains very active at his high school, LaSalle Institute in Troy, NY, most recently holding the position of Alumni Association Vice President.

Todd was the recipient of the firm’s Tim Manning Culture of Excellence Award in 2006 and previously was recognized with the Rising Star Award by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) for his professional accomplishments and great potential for leadership in the fundraising community. 

Todd graduated with honors from Quinnipiac University, where he competed as a member of the men’s basketball team and received the Alumni Chair Award.
