A university in South Florida has welcomed a new president with an entrepreneurial mindset. Through understanding both the university and opportunities within South Florida, the president crafted a vision with strategic priorities, and engaged GPG to help develop a plan to fund the vision through several phases of a campaign initiative and serve in a leadership advisory role throughout. 

Major Gift Program Implementation over a 9-month period; direct work with advancement services to develop portfolios for each frontline fundraiser and the president; bi-monthly prospect moves management sessions to strategize on next steps and solicitations; recommendations around messaging and cultivation work with a near-term future campaign initiative in mind.

The OH Foundation has used a campaign initiative to propel its major gift program forward in a systematic and sustainable way which will allow for increased post-campaign fundraising from previous years, and it's most successful philanthropy initiative in more than 20-years.

The school has engaged its existing donors around their highest levels of support, including four 7-figure commitments to the campaign. New programs and spaces have been born out of the campaign that is supported by alums all over the country and abroad.

The Everson Museum raised $17M in the largest arts and cultural campaign the region had experienced. As a result, the museum secured its largest-ever gift through an estate and received more multi-year commitments from new donors through an initiative than it ever had.

The museum has implemented internal best practices based on our recommendations while cultivating a potential lead investor for a public 7-figure gift that will be leveraged to inspire, at a minimum, 5 additional 6-figure gifts, resulting in almost all of the needed campaign funds.

The school will embark on an initiative to triple its endowment and also secure $5M in current-use funds over a 3-year period while engaging brand new families and first-time donors around 6-figure to 7-figure solicitations.
