Trends in Giving with Aly Sterling

Description


As a development professional, have you ever thought about doing something daring or bold but fell short of making it happen? Or considered “what if” you turned off some portion of your current development efforts in order to create the space to try something different? What would you do? What kind of “permission” would you need and how would you sell your case?

In this provocative workshop Aly Sterling, of Aly Sterling Philanthropy, will share new trends in giving, donor expectations, and not only why dreaming big is critical to take your organization’s development program to the next level, but how to build the case for “why” to your team and your leadership. We’ll also hear from a panel of local leaders who said “yes” to much-needed change in their development program trajectory, what worked and what surprised them along the way.


Panelists

  • Nina Holden, Sr. Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Detroit Institue of Arts
  • Ryan Davis, Vice President and Chief Development Officer at University Musical Society
