Step 2: Engage us Early

  • Stay Connected: Include us in your initial outreach to funders (like emails or calls).
  • Invite us to Meetings: Whenever possible, invite us to virtual or in-person meetings with funders. We can offer strategic insights, ask relevant questions, and help build strong relationships.
  • Keep us in the Loop: Share any feedback or updates from funders, so we can support ongoing communication.
  • Why it Matters: Funders appreciate a coordinated approach. As the official record keeper for campus interactions with private funders, we make sure that all communication is organized and consistent, preventing confusion or mixed messages.
