What can you apply from the non-profit world to improve your own fundraising strategies?
Non-profit organizations outside of higher ed are typically seen as lean, cross-functional, and adaptive. As such, they have many creative ideas for proposals, events, and volunteers that gift officers can use to grow their own fundraising abilities and success. Join us to learn how higher ed can better compete philanthropically.
Who Should Attend
Front-line fundraisers in major gifts will benefit by learning creative approaches to their work. Leadership will benefit by learning how to implement cultural shifts that make their shop more competitive.
