Creating a Culture of Philanthropy: Leadership Take Notice!

Presented by: Barbara Bowman, Kristen Shuler

Description: Often fundraising is limited more by organizational culture, structure, and systems than by lack of strategic and tactical know-how. This workshop will examine how to create a culture of corporate-wide philanthropy by treating the underlying systems instead of symptoms. We will address the challenges and concerns fundraisers feel get in the way of their effectiveness, the role of senior leadership and the board as drivers of a culture of philanthropy, how development, programs, and communications interrelate, understand how the right information and data is critical to strategy, how to get the goals right, and how to treat the donor as a real partner. The primary audience for this workshop is the Executive Team, CEOs, CDOs, and CFOs.
