How university boards can enhance fundraising success of their institution
Across the globe, colleges and universities face increasing funding pressures. Even for institutions that are currently robustly funded by public/government entities, the long term outlook is at best uncertain. To ensure future success, private giving must grow. John Greenhoe, CFRE, will provide ideas and strategies to help universities thrive in the coming years through significantly enhanced philanthropy.
Greenhoe will discuss the critical role of leadership volunteers in fundraising. Professional development staff can only be successful to a certain limit without the dedication and connections of volunteers. Session attendees will learn how they can strategically support philanthropic growth through their commitments of time, talent and treasure. They will learn how to leverage resources for measurable revenue improvements. And, most importantly, they will gain takeaways that can be implemented to quickly to help move the needle in fundraising growth and revenue diversification.
