SUMMARY:How to Raise Endowment Funding
DESCRIPTION:April Professional Development | How to Raise Endowment Funding\n\n\nWe all know we need to have a robust and growing endowment for our nonprofit.  But\, even if we have an endowment fund right now\, how can we work in more money for that when we need dollars for more pressing needs?  This session answers the following questions: \n\nWhat exactly is an endowment?\nHow does it function?\nHow much does it need to be?\nShould it produce income?\nWhat should we spend it on?\nWho is in charge of it?\nHow do we raise it?\nWhere does endowment fundraising fit in our annual funds\, special events\, major or capital campaigns\, planned giving\, and earned income?\n\nPlanning on how to handle and augment your endowment affects all avenues of revenue for your organization.  In many ways\, it is the true “ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM” in your fundraising.  Smart and diversified fundraising plans always include careful and intentional planning regarding endowment.  Come see how to master this phase of your planning.  And you might want to invite your executive director and some board members to join you! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nPresented by Alex Comfort\, CFRE \nAlex Comfort\, CFRE is President of Mountain Non-Profit Solutions\, a consulting company he formed in 2009 after 23 years as a professional fundraiser.
