Description
The difference philanthropy makes in the institutions'' success requires a commitment from those who deliver these messages daily to internal and external audiences — physicians, nursing staff and administrative leadership teams. Developing a philanthropic campaign tailored specifically to these leadership audiences provides a framework from which they can shape personal giving as well as serve as partners in securing philanthropic support from a broader base.
