About the Webinar

Do you have a lot of unspent funds at your organization? Do fund managers even understand how to spend those funds? Do you have a lot of funds with $0 balances and no incoming gifts? This webinar will walk through the process we used to clean up our underutilized funds, train fund managers to spend funds, and address plans to spend down large balances that have been underutilized. Getting funds spent according to donor intent is a crucial part of the stewardship process for a donor and their gift.

Learning Objectives:

1. Why and how is spending funds in a timely and appropriate manner a donor relations function?
2. Learn the process behind evaluating and cleaning up underutilized funds at your organization. 
3. Tools to help donor relations professionals show business partners the importance of the process and provide training to those partners.
