Exceeding Expectations:
Strategic Support Campaign
In today’s economy, strategic planning helps strengthen any entity, including our own. In an effort to not compromise the quality of our grantmaking in the future, we determined it vital to conduct an “Investors in the Vision: The Next 30 Years” strategic support campaign designed to build a strong operational base through 2012 and allow us to focus intently on future philanthropy rather than operational shortfalls. The campaign raised an annual $50,000 and consists of four-year pledges to underwrite our operational costs. It allows our Board and Staff to shift our focus from short-term to long-term goals.
We call these operational gifts Strategic Support because it allowed us to remain fiscally sound as an organization while strengthening our vision of helping philanthropy thrive in our communities. Below you can see the correlation between strategic support and the impact it has on our community today and forever. As the year comes to a close, consider a gift to the Foundation or one of its many endowed funds. Please help us continue the work we do on your behalf with a gift—easy for you and as timely as ever for us.
During 2009, the Foundation assisted over 300 donors support their charitable wishes
