Right Sizing Your Campaigns for Today’s Fundraising Environment

Given the changing fundraising landscape and the increasing reliance on constant and comprehensive campaigns to achieve ambitious goals, the playbook of traditional campaign strategies is proving ineffective for independent schools. These old strategies, left unrevised, lead to staff and donor burnout, constant demands on school and fundraising leaders, and are misalignment with modern donor preferences.

Join this 3-part virtual workshop series to learn EAB’s latest research on fundraising, assess your school’s current advancement efforts, and gain best-in-class strategies to optimize your campaign efforts for today’s landscape. Attendance is best suited for heads of school and advancement leaders.

Even if you aren’t able to attend all three sessions, we still encourage you to register and join us when possible.
