Building a Principal Gift Program From Scratch
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST
Speaker(s): Jill Anderson, Vice President Development & Alumni Engagement, Moravian University, Jessica Weaver, Principal Gift Officer, Director of Family Philanthropy, Moravian University
Competencies: Strategic Thinking
Elective Session
Do you have an institution almost 300 years old but lacking a formal principal gifts program? Have you relied on your major gift donors' support to continue fueling your pipeline and perhaps even be the cornerstones of a campaign? Do you have a committed, albeit philanthropically hesitant Board of Trustees willing to dig their feet in and raise the bar for your institution? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this session is for you!
Join us as we discuss the state of giving at Moravian University and how one particular donor served as the catalyst for our Principal Gift Program. We will also discuss how our newly formed Principal Gift Program has allowed us to surpass our campaign goal of $75M two years early.
