Overview:
In addition to bringing money into your annual fund, faculty and staff gifts create a strong case for alumni giving when it is clear that an institution's employees see the value and importance of annual giving. While faculty and staff giving programs differ among institutions, creating a successful program means understanding institutional culture, what faculty and staff want, and what specifically speaks to them. Finally, translating that information into marketing and promotional ideas for your faculty and staff are also critical to the success of the program.
The Researching and Marketing Your Faculty and Staff Giving Program webcast presents the key steps of researching and marketing your faculty and staff giving program. The presenters provide two unique perspectives on issues ranging from the research and planning process all the way through message development and specific marketing techniques to effectively promote your unique faculty and staff giving program.
Target Audience:
Directors, associate directors, and assistant directors of annual giving will identify how to research and market a faculty and staff giving program that's right for their institution.
