Strategic Initiatives Conference Application

Deadline: May 1

​

​We seek professionals who are actively planning or executing fundraising for a strategic initiative at a prominent research institution; have demonstrated success in raising principal or transformational, multidisciplinary gifts for initiatives; and/or those in a position to influence academic and/or advancement/development leadership to support these complex endeavors.

​

For clarity, SIGAP defines a strategic initiative as:
 

A multidisciplinary academic endeavor to tackle a societal problem in an innovative way, at scale. It is an institutional priority at the highest level—as indicated by resources, attention, and positioning—with a goal of enhancing the university’s ability to accelerate solutions through transformational philanthropic partnerships.

​

Conference participants will be announced by May 15th. To curate a group that can most effectively learn and share together, participants are selected by the SIGAP Board of Directors based on their application. Up to five (5) colleagues will be selected from any institution.

 

We are excited to support the community of professionals doing this exceptional work, and deeply appreciate your interest in joining us for the upcoming conference!
