Advising those who give, and those who inspire giving.

Síofra Rucker

Listening well is what I do best. It allows me to understand what matters most to my clients and provide thoughtful counsel on decisions that involve purpose, relationships, legacy, and impact.

— Síofra

During her time at ASL, Síofra embodied the spirit of our community — bringing clarity, dedication, and strategic vision to every dimension of our advancement program. She elevated our fundraising efforts, cultivated deep and trusted relationships with major donors, and served as an invaluable thought partner to me and the Board as we navigated complex institutional challenges together.

Matt Horvat

Head of School, American School in London (ASL)

Over many years of working together, Síofra became a trusted thought partner to me as my philanthropy deepened significantly, ultimately including a transformational eight-figure gift to endow scholarships. Her ability to listen carefully, understand what truly motivates donors, and navigate important conversations with warmth and intelligence is exceptional. She understands that philanthropy is deeply personal and helps donors think meaningfully about purpose and impact. Her warmth, discretion, and genuine interest in people make her an exceptional advisor and partner.

Former Board Chair, Philanthropist

US Independent School

During my time as President of the American School in London Foundation, I worked closely with Síofra on many of ASL's most important philanthropic priorities. She possesses a rare combination of strategic insight, sound judgment, and an exceptional ability to build consensus. Her understanding of internationally mobile families and the complexities of philanthropy across the US and UK is sophisticated and nuanced. She is equally comfortable in boardrooms, with donors, and alongside institutional leaders. She is an impressive professional and working with her is a pleasure.

Retired Executive Vice President, Bank One

As President of the American School in London Foundation, I worked closely with Síofra on donor engagement, Foundation Director recruitment, strategic planning, and the development of our philanthropic programs. Having partnered with her in developing ASL's planned giving program, Ann and I were pleased to support this effort through our own legacy commitment. Síofra has a distinct talent for working with Directors, volunteer leaders, and donors, bringing both professionalism and warmth to every interaction. Her ability to guide thoughtful conversations around philanthropy and legacy inspires meaningful engagement and enduring commitment.
