In the past year, the value of a college degree has faced scrutiny, tuition prices have climbed in reaction to inflated operational expenses, and Supreme Court rulings have shaken up the education sector. These challenges have exposed how critical endowments are to institutional sustainability, growth, and financial health. Our work as fundraising professionals in this sector has never been more important, and the need for a strong endowment has never been more significant. Join this panel discussion to hear development and advancement leaders from across District II weigh in on how they are making the case for endowment at their institutions. The group will discuss how their students, faculty, and communities have benefited from endowment-focused efforts and offer strategies to motivate, solicit, and steward endowment prospects.
