On Demand Program
Is it time to audit your restricted funds? Learn how a deep dive into the endowed funds at Columbia College revealed potential for $400,000 in annual operating relief.
Join Gonser Gerber Partner Chad Jolly and members of the Advancement staff from Columbia College (Columbia, MO) as they discuss the College’s step by step endowed and restricted fund audit process and how this project brought immediate relief to the annual operating budget, changed the College’s scholarship program, and how endowed fund agreements were written going forward.
Topics we will cover in this webinar include:
- Working with our CFO, admissions team and financial aid office on reviewing our endowed and restricted funds
- Contacting donors and fund stewards about their past restricted gifts
- Establishing new processes and policies
- Awarding funds moving forward
- Lessons learned
The fee is $295 per institution, which allows your entire team the opportunity to participate in this professional development at the same time. If you are a current client of Gonser Gerber Advancement Consulting, that fee is just $145. You will also receive a copy of the presentation and a recording of the webinar with your registration.
