Prager & Co.

Prager Partners is a boutique advisory firm built exclusively for private nonprofit higher education. We advise colleges and universities on mergers, acquisitions, affiliations, and strategic partnerships: the most consequential decisions a board can make. As a FINRA-member broker-dealer and MSRB-registered municipal advisor, we bring institutional-grade deal execution to a sector where transactions are rare, sensitive, and mission-defining. Our work sits at the intersection of finance, accreditation, and governance, three disciplines that rarely converge in a single advisor. We serve boards and presidents through the full arc of a transaction, from the first strategic assessment through structuring, negotiation, and close. The Strategic Transaction Framework gives boards a disciplined way to evaluate options, sequence decisions, and move forward with clarity rather than under pressure. Prager Partners was founded on a single conviction: private nonprofit institutions deserve an advisor who understands both the balance sheet and the mission. We serve that conviction with candor, rigor, and discretion. Learn more at www.prager.com. Important risks. There is no assurance that any transaction will be completed, that required accreditor, regulatory, or governmental approvals will be obtained, or that any transaction will achieve an institution's financial, academic, or mission objectives. A transaction may also have adverse institutional consequences. Fees are payable whether or not a transaction closes, and contingent fees may present a conflict of interest. Prior engagements and results are not indicative of future results. We do not provide legal, tax, accounting, or accreditation opinions. Services are offered only to institutional clients through Prager Partners LLC.
