Annual Giving in a Small Shop

Recorded On: 04/24/2018

OVERVIEW

Although some organizations are large and well-resourced, the vast majority of annual giving programs at educational institutions function as relatively small shops. They rely on limited budgets and only a few staff to generate much needed donors and dollars year-in and year-out. These restrictions make it so important for small programs to be efficient, resourceful, strategic, and collaborative. At the same time, working in a small shop does have advantages. Understanding these opportunities is key to running an effective program and enjoying a fruitful career.
