Improving Campus Collaboration for Effective Parent and Family Giving

Last updated November 11, 2021

Meaningfully engage parents and families through intentional collaboration with campus partners.

Overview

From the moment a student signs their letter of intent to the day they graduate, parents of undergraduate students typically have a 4-year window to give to your institution. Your development strategy for parent and family giving needs to be strong and should be a collaboration between student affairs, enrollment management and alumni relations. When communication to parents across these divisions is aligned, it can foster an environment of engagement that leads to more giving.

Join us online to learn how the parent and family giving model at the University of California San Diego fosters a collaborative environment that leads to effective and impactful parent and family giving. Our expert instructor will also discuss:

  • The variety of programming that parents and families can contribute to, from student organizations to on-campus activities.
  • How to use data to identify parents and families most likely to become development prospects and volunteers.
  • Stewardship strategies that keep parents informed and engaged throughout their giving lifecycle.
