Kean University Foundation saw a record-breaking FY23 by raising funds through donor participation, various new revenue streams, and a historic Founders Day (annual day of giving). With a new University President as of 2020, and an annual giving department of one, come learn about ways to increase awareness and revenue. Through this interactive lecture-led discussion, participants will have the opportunity to engage throughout the entire presentation by open-ended conversation and comprehensive visual slides. Upon completion, participants will be able to prioritize the needs and wants of their annual giving program and implement examples of stewardship, events, direct mail, phone, text and social components to grow their annual giving program.
