What every board member should know about fundraising.

Alumni engagement and giving is a clear sign of an institution’s continued relevance, making the institution’s relationship with alumni a key priority for the board.

Yet the greatest barriers to higher levels of fundraising success can rarely be isolated in the advancement operation. They include:

  • The lack of strategic adaptability.
  • The inability to listen to constituents.
  • Failure to realize that more students, alumni, and family are concluding that the value provided was equal to or less than the cost of the degree.
  • Over-emphasis on short-term fundraising results at the expense of long-term constituency building and prospect pipeline development.
  • Naivete around how private support is secured and sustained.
