Development
The
Office of University Development at Washington and Lee exists to help meet
the University’s highest priorities and special opportunities and to build
its financial strength by attracting philanthropic support for the
University’s mission. In order to achieve this purpose, the office must
work closely with numerous partners and constituencies and be adequately
staffed with qualified administrative and support personnel who will do the
following:
-
Identify individuals,
corporations, and foundations that are likely sources of philanthropic
support;
-
Seek and maintain
information on the financial capabilities and philanthropic interests of
past and prospective donors;
-
Design programs and
develop strategies that will foster greater involvement and closer
connections to the life of the University;
-
Communicate
effectively the University’s financial needs, priorities, and strategic
initiatives as determined by the faculty, academic leadership, the
President, and the Board of Trustees;
-
Obtain gifts for each
year’s operating budget, for approved additions to and improvements of
the physical plant, and for the endowment;
-
Provide for future
endowment growth through a strong program of planned giving that
includes, but is not limited to, income-retained gifts, charitable
income trusts, life insurance, and bequests;
-
Record, acknowledge,
and maintain accurate historical records of all gifts;
-
Report regularly to
donors on the use and , if endowment, the growth of their gifts;
-
And foster good will
among all of the University’s constituencies.
Finally, the development staff must carry out its mission in a
professional manner, incorporating and reflecting high ethical standards and
the most precious traditions of Washington and Lee. These traditions
include a firm commitment to personal honor and integrity, to the importance
of individuals, to forthright and personalized manner of dealing with
others, and to volunteerism as a means of serving society and achieving
worthy goals.
