Session Description: Fundraising is a partnership! Why not make it sweet?!? Donuts with Development was an idea that blossomed around how fundraising professionals can leverage their internal partners in the gift life-cycle! From identification to stewardship, we will share how leveraging joint-facilitated philanthropy benefits your program. By utilizing this presentation, you will be able to bring more philanthropy-minded partners to the table and equip them with resources, know-how, and language! Lastly, by demystifying successful working philanthropy relationships, you can bring in more "dough"!

Session Description: To diversify our talent pool in university fundraising, we know we have to appeal to people with transferrable skills. Fortuitously, smaller hiring pools are encouraging just that. New hires require a different kind of training. Even when university fundraisers are hired, in the new hybrid environment, it can be a challenge to build cultures of trust, belonging, and high production. Utah State partnered with Generous Change to create a new onboarding program with step-by-step how-to's for "the Utah State Way," and culture and belonging were built intentionally from the beginning. Hear results and learn how to build your own.
