Synergy in today’s competitive philanthropic landscape is critical to success. Foundation staff and volunteer leaders are partners in this effort. To maximize your College’s culture of philanthropy and impact, they must coalesce and lead around a shared mission and vision.

Their agreement about the case for support, priority prospects, Board composition, and fundraising plan provide a baseline. Beyond that, the most dynamic duos bring a certain type of magic to their partnership.
