The New Philanthropic Environment: Fundraising for Libraries, Museums & Archives Intercontinental Hotel Whether you have sole responsibility for attracting external financial support to your institution, or whether you partner with development professionals to meet organizational funding goals, this workshop will help to improve your fundraising effectiveness by enhancing your understanding of the current philanthropic environment. The fundraising landscape for all non-profit entities, including educational and cultural heritage institutions, has been altered in recent years by the tragedies of September 11, 2001 along with recent natural disasters and their economic effects. This workshop focuses on the realities of contemporary philanthropy, acquainting participants with the financial, administrative, and ethical concerns that confront fundraisers as they endeavor to secure external support for their organizations. Participants will gain an understanding of non-profit institutions, and become familiar with the tools and techniques of modern fundraising including major gifts, corporate and individual giving, planned giving, and endowments, along with the ethical and philosophical issues that accompany them. A brief list of required preliminary readings and further information about the workshop can be obtained by contacting Lisa Browar. Instructors: Lisa Browar, University Librarian, The New School; and Chris Foley, Associate Director of Development and External Affairs, University of Pennsylvania Library Registration Fee: $85 Limited to 15 participants |
