The Donor Has Changed. Has Your Institution?Building institutional readiness for venture philanthropyTraditional fundraising models were designed for donors making gifts. Increasingly, however, institutions are engaging with funders who want to co-design solutions, share risk, invest in innovation and remain actively involved throughout the journey. These opportunities rarely arrive labelled as "venture philanthropy", yet they demand different capabilities, faster decision-making and a more coordinated institutional response.Drawing on research undertaken across the higher education sector, this webinar explores what institutional readiness for venture philanthropy really looks like. Rather than focusing solely on fundraising practice, it introduces a practical framework to help advancement leaders engage colleagues across research, finance, legal, commercialisation and executive leadership to assess whether their institution is ready to respond.Demystify venture philanthropy and benefit from practical tools and a roadmap designed for advancement professionals to navigate this emerging, high-growth funding model. Participants will also leave with diagnostic questions and ideas they can immediately apply within their own organisations.Details of the Session:Date: 19 August 2026 (Wednesday)Time: 12noon - 1pm (GMT+8)
