MY PERSPECTIVE
With so much uncertainty in
the world today, stakeholders
��������������������������������������������������
look to their fundraisers for answers.
They want reassurance that their favorite
charities are well equipped to weather
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������
up their sleeves, send out emergency
appeals, tighten budgets, and pray
vigorously that their donors will respond
generously.
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
is indeed well equipped to persevere
because our generous benefactors
have always done just that – responded
generously.
While we are all experiencing an
unprecedented event, the organizational
challenges this brings to the surface are
������������������������������������������������������������������������
year: How do we start from scratch to
secure the necessary funds to meet
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
can we inspire our donors to increase
their annual giving? And how can we
motivate non-givers to join our efforts?
����������������������������������������������������������
success of their organization relies on the
generosity of its benefactors. Fortunately,
our alumni and families are keenly
aware of the strong partnership that
exists between Jesuit’s success and their
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������
serve to reinforce that importance. And I
am always truly humbled by, and forever
grateful for, the outpour of responses we
receive as testaments to this.
On behalf of our current students, I
sincerely thank you for the role you play
in helping to advance our mission. If you
haven’t yet supported our efforts, I hope
this letter will inspire you to please do so
now. Your participation has never been
more vital to our success..
