Elective Session
Do our current fundraising efforts reach the full spectrum of the community we serve? Are we speaking the language—literally and figuratively—of tomorrow’s donors? A survey conducted by Blackbaud shows that a majority of donors to non-profits and higher education institutions were mostly white. At UTSA, we took that study and conducted an internal review where we found our alumni base was not only more diverse but also younger. Learn how we adjusted our fundraising efforts to resonating with the full body of our constituents and turned our diverse communities into our leading supporters.
