The Philanthropic Vortex: Engaging Physicians and their Grateful Patients in Higher Levels of Successful Philanthropy

Date: Wednesday, January 16th
Time: 2:00PM EST
Speakers:

  • George F. Maynard, III, FAHP, Senior Principal, Accordant Philanthropy
  • William Schmidt, VP of Development, GHS Children's Hospital 
Today's campaigns are strategically crafted to involve physicians, grateful patients or family members who have affinity and volunteers who have given and are deeply affiliated and aligned with the campaign’s goals and objectives. Philanthropy is the focus, not fundraising. So much so, that those involved become more and more engaged in deeply personal and motivational ways, creating a Philanthropic Vortex™. This webinar will be a story of vision, courage, determination, commitment and, finally, discovery through the creation of grateful patients and grateful physicians into grateful partners. Together, they successfully turned an $80,000,000 philanthropy campaign into $91,000,000 and did so one year earlier than expected.

Maximizing Hospital Foundations in Changing Times

Date: Thursday, April 25th
Time: 2:00PM EST
Speakers:

  • Walter J. Dillingham, Jr., Managing Director, Endowments & Foundations, Wilmington Trust
  • Susan Holt, President and Senior Consultant, Vision Philanthropy Group
Over the past few decades, many hospitals in the U.S. have formed and used their separate foundations as key fundraising tools. As the healthcare sector evolves and new hospital systems are created or new partners join existing ones, hospital leaders will need to assess their hospital foundation strategies. Will they utilize a parent model, or will they continue with local foundations? How are local and/or system-wide strategic philanthropic objectives identified and action plans created? How are evolving boards engaged in a new environment? This webinar will review these options and discuss research derived from New York State, which can be applied to the national marketplace. We will also review the ways hospital foundations can maximize their fundraising and governance strategies, including the development of strategic philanthropic objectives and board engagement.

How to Lose a Millennial in 10 Ways

Date: Tuesday, May 7th
Time: 2:00PM EST
Speakers:

  • Dominic Schamuhn, Manager of Major Giving, United Way of the Alberta Capital Region
  • Christy Holtby, VP, Strategic Partnerships, University Hospital Foundation
Millennials are one of the largest demographics in today’s society – they are born between 1980 and 1995, and are the focus of much speculation and confusion. Their emergence is providing an opportunity for organizations to develop new ways to interact with their employees and engage with donors. This webinar will focus on principles and examples for leaders to follow in their own organizations as they work with, and prepare for an influx of, millennials. These principles and examples will be applicable in interactions with donors, and in building relationships with staff.

Time: 2:00PM EST
Speakers:
  • Scott R. Lange, Executive Partner, Jerold Panas, Linzy & Partners
  • Adam Gafke, Executive Director, Development Operations, Hoag Hospital Foundation
Hospital Foundations and new leadership often enter the arena with bold ideas and an expansive vision of the future.

And it all started with insight and understanding of their constituent base and donors.
