Our view of Advancement encompasses a model that maximizes an organization's strengths while respecting its unique personality and needs. We believe an effective advancement effort requires: ♦ a donor-centered approach which invites donors to deepen spirituality and discern their investment in mission in complete freedom ♦ outreach which addresses a donor’s need for clarity, effectiveness and significance in their giving ♦ a strong infrastructure; i.e., well-defined policies and procedures, information systems, and mutually agreed upon standards and best practices ♦ strategic coordination of institutional advancement activities within the organization ♦ the engagement of Institutional Advancement professionals and colleagues who wholeheartedly embrace the mission of the institution
