Forging a College-Foundation Partnership to Galvanize Major Giving:
Workshop for Community College Leaders

Private support is becoming increasingly important for colleges’ ability to innovate, provide access, and support inclusive student success, and an engaged foundation board, working in strategic alignment with college leaders, is critical to positioning a college for major gifts. This workshop will address the key elements of a robust college-foundation partnership to grow philanthropy and practices to help build and develop a foundation board equipped to provide transformative philanthropic leadership.

Hosted by AGB in collaboration with the Network of California Community College Foundations (NCCCF), the workshop will bring together board members and executive staff of California community colleges and affiliated foundations along with community college leaders. The program will include presentations and discussion from 1:30 to 4:00 PM, followed by a networking reception from 4:00 to 5:00 PM.

Topics to be explored include:

• Practices to foster college-foundation alignment and collaboration.
• Governance tools to elevate the work of the foundation board.
• Strategies to identify and develop philanthropic opportunities.
