In-Reach--Engaging Faculty, Staff, and Administration in support of the Annual Fund Presented by Kenneth Cooper Executive Director, Cosumnes River College Foundation
File Your Flight Plan What is In-Reach? • (1) WANDER: Staff taking time out of their day to, literally, 'wander around the campus' (Peters, Waterman, 1982, 2002) engaging students in discussion; • (2) RELATE: building non-transactional (Bean and Eaton, 2007; Freire, 1968) relationships with students, • (3) CHECK-IN: periodic conversations with students to set expectations (Seidman, 2006; Braxton and Hirschy 2004, 2006) as it relates to academic progress or personal conditions,
File Your Flight Plan • (4) CHECK-UP: solicitation of student feedback; conversations to hold students accountable for goals made and expectations set (Tinto, 2007; Braxton and Hirschy 2004, 2006), and • (5) CHECK-OUT: (Referral) direct and immediate referral of the student to related student service (financial aid, EOP & S, student health center, etc.) and or information shared with students about services, concepts, student success instructions.
File Your Flight Plan………….. • Review your college’s organizational structure. • Characteristics of a “Foundation friendly” organizational structure: • Reporting Relationship • College Priority • Inclusion in Management Team • District Support and Organization
Boarding Call…….. Who can ever forget the Southwest Airlines boarding experience? How can we effectively engage our campus colleagues to participate in the Annual Fund….and look forward to it?
We love to fly and it shows….. In-reach activities should include predictable events easily identifiable with the Annual Fund. Since 2006, the Textbook Scholarship Drawing has grown to 1,364 students and $10,000 in student support.
Boarding Call……….. • Shared Governance Committees • Hiring Panels • “Walking Emails” • Student Mentoring Groups
Boarding Call…….. • Identify staff and faculty champions • Campus Leaders • Utilize beneficiaries of Annual Fund support as experts in their respective fields. • Partner with an established campus constituency to support more than one cause. • “Hawk-a-thon and Alpha Academy”
Boarding Call…………… Be the fundraising expert on your campus. Offers to train and consult with staff and faculty colleagues on their own fundraising ideas can go a long way in helping to solidify this relationship.
A little turbulence………. “Did you feel that bump?” Mass emailing Impersonal letters Fundraising without consultation
A little turbulence……….. How we deal with setbacks in fundraising is just as important as how we raise the funds in the first place.
