They build prospects’ enthusiasm, communicate impact to donors, and provide engagement opportunities throughout the year. The efforts of academic leaders, faculty members, and nonacademic staff can make the difference between exceeding annual goals and failing to reach them. To beat the competition for major gifts, advancement teams must strengthen current partnerships and engage new champions across campus.
