An Introduction to Planned Giving
The donors being cultivated by your institution likely don’t categorize their giving as either a major or a planned gift, and yet, advancement shops in higher education often draw a distinct line between the two types of giving. Ultimately donors just want to determine the most advantageous way to support your institution, and a strong partnership between major gift officers and planned giving officers can help make that a reality. This short lesson will help you educate and empower your major gift officers to recognize planned giving opportunities and broach the subject with their donors. New planned giving officers will also benefit from reviewing these resources.
Connecting Admissions Counselors More Effectively to Yield Outcomes
Admissions counselors are commonly more mission-driven than numbers-driven. Since many wouldn’t self-identify as “numbers people,” they often struggle to articulate their personal enrollment goals and progress to leadership. But in a climate where every student matters, institutions can no longer afford to leave these goals up to chance. The productivity of admissions counselors is vital to an institution’s ability to execute their yield strategies, so enrollment and admissions leaders must start to shift the culture around goals and measurement for the counselors. Join us for this webcast and learn: How to set goals for counselors that are both aspirational and obtainable How to measure progress on goals through strategic reports How to hire and train for better results
