As institutions continue to grapple with increasing demands from their institutions and the challenges of balancing limited resources while being good partners in stewardship, how can College and University Foundations (CUFs) remain strong partners while staying true to their mission and responsibilities? What other resource opportunities are emerging? After sharing perspectives and experiences from their own campuses, Christy Devocelle and Adam Quinlan will lead an interactive discussion on managing expectations, aligning priorities, and strengthening partnerships. Bring your experiences and join a candid conversation on one of the most pressing issues facing foundation leaders today. The participatory session is designed to foster peer learning and the exchange of practical insights and ideas among foundation leaders.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Identify strategies for balancing institutional expectations with the foundation’s mission, priorities, and stewardship responsibilities.
• Explore approaches for aligning foundation and institutional priorities while strengthening the partnership between the two organizations.
• Consider emerging resource opportunities and how they may help foundations respond to increasing institutional needs.
• Apply insights and practical approaches shared by peers to challenges within their own foundation and institution.
