PRESIDENTIAL STEWARDSHIP The addition of Presidential Stewardship to Donor Relations and Stewardship in 2016 has been monumental in keeping our team connected to Regional and Principal Giving, the President’s Office, Corporate and Foundation Relations, and Special Events. Giving stewardship a seat at the table when planning for major gifts and events ensures that donors have a holistic giving experience, and our President is able to better utilize his time with donors and acknowledge their generosity personally and effectively.
LEADERSHIP STEWARDSHIP STRATEGY Associate Director of Donor Relations and Stewardship The Associate Director is involved in two meetings that discuss cultivation and stewardship strategies for the University's top donors and prospects.
PRESIDENTIAL FUNDRAISING MEETING This meeting occurs for Development Administration to inform the President's Office on fiscal year fundraising updates, upcoming visits with top donors, development events, and any necessary prospect updates. The Associate Director does not attend these meetings but prepares a memo that covers the agenda.
PRINCIPAL GIFTS STRATEGY MEETING This meeting serves as an opportunity for central development leadership, principal gift officers, prospect management, and donor relations to come together and discuss current strategies for the University’s top donors and prospects.
