Fewer donors are giving. Loyal donors are aging. Government funding is at risk. Endowment income may provide sustainability and flexibility today, and also provide mission insurance for the future. Yet given the current public health and economic climate, can your nonprofit “afford” to raise funds for endowment? This session will help your organization determine if and when to prioritize endowment growth, how to position endowment without jeopardizing dollars for operating support, and what you should do next to ready for a focused fundraising effort. Case studies will illustrate effective strategies from organizations who diversified and strengthened their revenue streams by inviting investment for long-term reserves.
