The Trump administration has brought with it a wave of funding crises on campuses across the nation. Broader economic uncertainty, increased demand for philanthropic funding, and declines in enrollment have compounded the funding holes left by federal grant retraction.

To help advancement professionals and academic leaders tasked with raising funds navigate this tumult, The Chronicle is hosting a premium webinar that will provide key context and and strategic tips for achieving development success.

Join us on March 18 to hear about:
 
 
 
  •
How the federal policy changes affect institutional fundraising and increase the demand for private funds to support research and other key activities;
 
 
 
  •
Ways to improve outreach to alumni in today’s tech-driven world;
 
 
 
  •
Improving coordination between the fundraising office and academic leaders;
 
 
 
  •
Highlighting a college’s mission in a crowded marketplace of causes.
 
 
 
 
As campus leaders scramble to make sense of recent upheaval and continue to bolster their operations against future uncertainty, being more nimble about fundraising to make up for budgetary shortfalls will be crucial.
