Trustees are here discussing school finance, building projects and fund raising.
Their presence has the Development Office in high gear:
This office is at the center of a revolution in educational philanthropy. Instead of anticipating what donors want to know, and what they want to do with their money, we're placing the donor's experience at the center of the model. Annual giving? Which specific parts of the school's operation do you wish to support?
Many who give to endowment wish to have their fund support a specific scholarship recipient. Last night, the benefactors of designated scholarships dined with the student recipients of those funds. It was an opportunity for human connections based on mutual respect and gratitude.
