Overview

Learn to develop a program that harnesses your students’ potential, pairs their skills with your shop’s vision and other student philanthropy efforts, and supports their own professional goals. Whether you are beginning a new effort or bolstering an existing program, this webcast will equip you with next steps and an arsenal of templates and resources to get the most out of your student foundation.

Throughout the training you will hear how the College of William and Mary was able to successfully combine three dormant and unsuccessful student philanthropy groups into one strong student foundation by:
