Igniting Philanthropy: Shaping a Culture of Philanthropy
What does a thriving culture of philanthropy look and feel like? How can you assess your school’s giving culture and pinpoint what needs to change? Drawing on 45 years of combined experience in diverse independent schools, we’ll share practical, proven tips you can put to work immediately.
In this interactive session, a Chief Advancement Officer and Head of School will demonstrate what genuine partnership looks like when building institutional culture change. You'll learn how to move your school from "we have a development office" to "advancement is everyone's work."
Expect honest conversation about what's worked, what hasn't, and the messy reality of culture change—including the uncomfortable moments that come with shifting how an entire institution thinks about philanthropy. Bring your questions about engaging your own leadership. We'll tackle them together.
