Signature Programs

The Art and Science of Fundraising

During four days of discussions with New York City’s most talented fundraising professionals, participants explore creative solutions to broaden their funding.

Each year, KBFUS organizes two intensive study visits on the Art & Science of Fundraising, to introduce European and African universities and cultural institutions to successful development strategies. During four days of discussions with some of New York City’s most talented fundraising professionals, participants explore creative solutions to broaden their funding.

Sessions cover topics such as strategic planning, trustee involvement, prospect identification, donor cultivation, capital campaigns, and planned giving. In addition to the sessions, social events allow participants to share ideas and make deeper connections.

Participation is by invitation only. Registration is free of charge though participants pay for their own travel and accommodation expenses.

Both programs are made possible thanks to the generosity of the American Express Foundation.
