Recorded at Prospect Development 2022

From 2020-2021 the Prospect Development shop at the University of Washington made a significant shift in our approach to portfolio consultations. Catalyzed by a confluence of forces including a staffing shortage, a pandemic, remote work, and an upcoming CRM transition, the Prospect Management team reimagined these meetings in powerful and effective ways. In partnership with frontline fundraisers we re-focused how we meet the diverse and specific needs of our fundraising teams--without overloading PD staff. In the process we have opened doors to the deeper, forward-looking strategic value we can provide as prospect development partners. In this session we will cover our journey from portfolio reviews to portfolio consultations, as well as how we are intentionally developing a shared language with our fundraisers and our ongoing work to position ourselves as true strategic partners.
