Shelley Holmes

Chief Development Officer @Town & Country School

Tulsa, OK, US

As Chief Development Officer at Town & Country School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I lead all fundraising, donor engagement, and community outreach efforts to support our mission of serving students with learning differences and attentional disorders such as ADHD. Town & Country is the state’s only accredited, non-public, full-day program for students in grades 2–12 with learning challenges, and I’m proud to play a key role in making this transformative education accessible. My work includes securing major gifts, managing the Financial Assistance Program, writing and stewarding grants, planning special events, and building strong relationships with donors, foundations, and business partners. I collaborate closely with school leadership and the Board of Trustees to align development strategies with institutional goals. With over 84% of our student body receiving financial assistance, I am committed to ensuring that every student—regardless of financial background—has the opportunity to succeed in a supportive, individualized learning environment.
