Endowment Fundraising ... OR How to Raise It When You're Not Going to Spend It
 The next ALDE webinar, "Endowment Fundraising ... OR How to Raise It When You're Not Going to Spend It," will be held Thursday, December 17, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. The presentation will be given by Jill Pranger, ACFRE.
One of the biggest challenges for nonprofit organizations is raising endowed funds. Fundraisers in "small shops" often believe they are too busy to think about funding that is so very long-term, while "large shops" frequently have such clear division of responsibilities that the only one thinking about endowment fundraising is the Planned Giving Officer. Pranger will speak on new ways to think about raising endowment funds and presenting the case to donors. Rather than thinking about endowment fundraising as the "top of the pyramid," this session will provide rationale and methodology to incorporate it throughout all aspects of our work. Additionally, this session will help participants understand the value and financial necessity of developing endowment funds so they can then appropriately articulate this to potential donors.
Jill A. Pranger, ACFRE, is widely sought after as a speaker, trainer and presenter - regionally, nationally and internationally. Her interesting and exciting presentations are filled with information you can use today ... and well into the future . She established her firm, Pranger Consulting and Training, in 2003 after a two-decade career as a fundraising professional. Her client list includes the United Way of Greater Rochester (NY), Gilda's Club Rochester, Stepping Stones Learning Center, Flower City Habitat for Humanity, Center for Disability Rights and the Monroe County Bar Association.
Jill is an AFP Master Teacher and was the recipient of the 2006 Fundraising Executive of the Year Award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals Genesee Valley Chapter, Rochester, New York. As a volunteer, Jill serves as a Board member for AFP International, Leadership Rochester and Big Brothers Big Sisters, as well as a continuing 32-year volunteer career with the American Red Cross as a CPR/First Aid Instructor Trainer and Water Safety Instructor.
