Key Takeaways from EAB’s 2025 Roundtable for Senior Advancement and Fundraising Leaders

In May, university fundraising and alumni engagement leaders from across the UK joined EAB experts to discuss common challenges and research on adapting to new industry-wide challenges and campus-specific needs. These conversations focused on how limited resources—from enrolment declines to tightening budgets —compound frustrations around changing strategic priorities set by institutional leadership and gift governance.

We invite anyone who attended the May Roundtable to nominate team members to attend our virtual recap on July 1st, and welcome executives and their teams at institutions who were unable to join us in person.

During this session, we’ll summarize our findings on the topics discussed including:

• The evolving role of heads of faculty in today’s fundraising, and the opportunities and concerns that arise when working across the university for support,
• The potential of AI in philanthropy, and specific applications in higher education, and
• Advancement leadership and change management during times of uncertainty and financial pressure.
