Wildly Important Goal 3: Advancement

By the conclusion of the strategic plan, Mount Marty will strive to: 

  • Contribute $1.4 million in additional funds to the endowment, outside of returns from investments
  • Conclude the current Benedictine Leadership in Society Campaign
  • Collect $2.8 million a year in annual gifts and pledge payments (4.4% increase over the last five-year average)
  • Attract $100K in government or foundation grants
    • Increase funding for the endocrinology program by 25% (WIG #1)

 

LEAD MEASURES

While the university has been navigating budget constraints, there is a recognition of the need for financial fortification. Managing existing debt and expanding the donor base emerge as crucial areas requiring attention. As a lead measure, Advancement will initiate a dedicated fundraising planning process with all departments and divisions across campus, identifying advancement needs. This work will help in the conclusion of the current campaign, while also forming the foundation for the next campaign.
