Fundraising for Facilities Teams

As institutions face growing deferred maintenance backlogs, one of the biggest challenges is securing funding to address critical needs. Donors often prefer to contribute to new, high-visibility projects and initiatives, while essential renovations and repairs go unnoticed and underfunded. With the right approach, facilities teams can work with advancement teams to help shift donor attention toward supporting deferred maintenance projects.

In this session, we have invited EAB advancement expert, Maria Vance, to share what current donors are looking for and best practices to partner with on campus advancement colleagues. Attendees will learn how to highlight the immediate impact of maintenance projects on students, faculty, and institutional success, and how to position these needs as critical investments in the future of the institution.

Join us to discover actionable insights and best practices for collaborating with advancement teams and engaging with donors.

Three key takeaways participants will receive from the event:

• Effective tactics to approach donors and successfully market deferred maintenance projects in a way that secures funding.
• Strategies for collaborating with advancement teams to ensure donors understand the long-term value of investing in current infrastructure rather than new construction.
• Best practices from other institutions that have successfully managed and funded critical maintenance projects.
