This program is for annual giving professionals and teams who want to increase their dollars raised as well as the total number of donors in their faculty and staff giving campaign. More specifically, if you have a volunteer deficit among your staff and faculty for your annual campaign, this training will help you improve how you identify and develop volunteers for a more successful campaign experience.

1:00 – 2:30 p.m. Eastern

There are dedicated alumni among your faculty and staff who have chosen to devote their careers to serving the students at your institution. By creating affinity groups internally, not only will you increase giving among your faculty and staff, but your alumni participation rates will also improve. You will also learn why engaging colleagues who happen to be alumni can help to promote a culture of philanthropy by highlighting the reminder that charity begins at home to your external constituents.

Building a volunteer network of faculty and staff who represent both alumni and non-alumni donors is key to successful fundraising. You will learn how to develop a dedicated group of ambassadors whose giving stories can be powerfully used in your appeals for your annual campaign.

Leadership support of your faculty and staff giving campaign can reverberate down to the deans who communicate the importance of giving to their staff and faculty. By learning how to pitch this support to your leadership using gamification on your Day of Giving, you will begin to cultivate enthusiasm for philanthropy among all levels of faculty and staff at your institution.
