About the Webconference
As today’s donor investors are increasingly interested in big ideas with global impact, they consistently want to engage with the people who have the big ideas: faculty and academic leaders. However, faculty members are reluctant to engage with advancement and are often ill-prepared to describe projects to a donor audience. By clarifying the faculty role in donor cultivation and providing practice opportunities, advancement can build relationships with faculty and increase their confidence when presenting to a non-expert audience. In this webconference, participants will learn how to prepare faculty members to pitch their big ideas to a donor audience, from practicing in front of peers, to pitching to a select group of donors, to successfully participating in donor visits.
