TH FORUM
There are so many complex issues facing leaders of educational institutions and advancement programs today. As consultants, we at Torrey Helm can offer insights. But we also believe in the power of the professional community to share solutions and deepen understanding through lively dialogue. We offer TH Forum as a tool for that conversation. The more you participate, the more useful it will be for all of us. We encourage you to check in frequently, offer your thoughts, and recommend the Forum to your colleagues. And if you have suggestions, feel free to contact us at Torrey Helm, LLC.
Several things haven't changed: 1) It's about the donor, stupid. Not about you. 2) Don't accept a gift that keeps on taking. Make sure the gift is something the institution needs. 3) Donors give on their time table - not yours. Just because an institution needs a gift now, doesn't make it the right time for a donor to step up to the plate. 4) Stop talking and listen to the donor.
