Development for Academic Leaders
Integration of Philanthropy as a Third Income Stream
Philanthropy can play a critical role in helping our institutions to survive and thrive at a time of turbulence. Academic engagement and leadership is vital if a culture of philanthropy is to flourish.
This one-day programme offers a unique opportunity for development professionals and academic leads to attend together and be introduced to the rich history and impact of philanthropy in higher education. It will provide practical guidance on how academics can play a vital role in helping to raise close friends and significant funds to support their important work.
Why attend:
- Get practical information for use in fulfilling your fundraising role as an academic leader.
- Collaborate with colleagues and faculty on techniques to implement at your institution.
- Hear directly from individuals, foundations and corporate donors about their motivations and experience of giving to universities.
- Discover the winning partnership that can be achieved between academics and their development teams.
- Network with your peers.
