I put together a major gift proposal for a long-time donor the other day. The proposal was for a naming opportunity in the new W.P. Carey building: McCord Hall. If the donor agrees to a gift of certain dollar amount he will be able to name a room in the new facility after himself, a loved one or a favorite professor. It was fun getting to see how the proposal process works at the Foundation. Because we have our own in-house marketing department, there is a slick “proposal on demand” tool I got to use. I was able to choose from various text layouts, pictures and other stylistic options to put together a professional, polished and individualized proposal. Having our own Communication and Marketing Department right down stairs is definitely a nice perk of working at a large Foundation. We’ll find out after the holidays if he decides to make the gift or not!
Good luck on your proposal! I've worked with ASU Communication and Marketing before and am always pleased and impressed with their work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for sharing your experience with teaching in Thailand! I am actually looking to apply for a program that will allow me to teach there for a year. I would definitely like to chat more about your experience, the country, and what you did while there. If it's alright, I'd like to exchange email addresses so we can chat. My email address is daisy.talavera@gmail.com. Thanks again and have a great day. Good luck on finals!
Good luck! Keep us posted on what the outcome is.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is cool. Good luck and I hope you get it.
