The New Realities for Public Higher Education Foundations
This new volume for foundation leaders, board members, and their partners features contributions from nine experts, each focused on the opportunities and risks foundations face in an uncertain higher ed environment. Two themes are explored: (1) understanding the conditions in which public institutions operate—and how foundation leaders must be aligned with the university to be essential partners, and (2) unpacking how foundations can safeguard the higher education value proposition through sound funding models and endowment management practices, attention to core relationships and roles, fostering of innovation, and prudent risks management.
