Elective Session
This panel session will feature leaders of grant-making foundations in a facilitated discussion that addresses the following topics: effective cultivation and solicitation; what works in foundation fundraising (and what doesn't); diversity and inclusion from the lens of private foundation funders; and what foundations wish educational fundraisers would keep in mind. There will be time for some Q&A. This session will provide a rare glimpse into the perspectives of those to whom fundraisers are submitting proposals and seeking philanthropic support.
