Philanthropy thrives on vision—and the people who bring that vision to life are often those outside our Advancement teams. In this engaging panel discussion, academic, research, and non-profit leaders will share their experiences partnering with fundraising colleagues to build meaningful donor relationships and secure philanthropic support. The session will offer insights into what matters most when engaging internal stakeholders, and why collaboration is key to inspiring donor confidence. Panelists will reflect on what has helped them most in these partnerships, what they wish had been provided, and what they’ve enjoyed about working with Advancement. Together, we’ll explore how fundraisers can better support those with the expertise and passion to address the causes donors care about—and why this alignment is essential to delivering impact.
