About the Webinar

Our faculty and program directors hold the key content needed to create Phillips Exeter Academy's dynamic impact reports to endowed fund donors, but cultivating that content is not always easy for the faculty or the donor relations team! Exeter's Donor Relations team will share the strategies they have developed for educating faculty on our endowed funds and supporting them through impact reporting, including: hosting our Storytelling Summit for Fund Administrators where Department Chairs and other key staff are educated on Exeter's endowment, their department funds, the foundation of stewardship, and best practices for storytelling for impact with donors; working with our partners in Finance to create and deliver Fund Administrator memos with critical information; and creating a system for developing more than 1,000 customized reports to donors. Phillips Exeter Academy is a coeducational, residential secondary school located in Exeter, New Hampshire. The Donor Relations team delivers customized impact reports to nearly 2,500 individuals of approximately 1,050 funds annually. This information will be delivered as a slideshow presentation, with audience participation and interaction throughout so that attendees can begin to imagine how a similar impact reporting strategy could come to fruition in their own organization and within their own staffing capacity.

Learning Objectives

1. Repurpose Phillips Exeter Academy's "Storytelling Summit for Fund Administrators" to meet the needs of their organization
2. Identify and implement strategies for effective collaboration with partners across their own organization
3. Create a system to develop customized donor impact reports within their organization's staffing capacity
