Your involvement in talking to donors – Your OVC Advancement Team wants to help match you with donors who may be interested in supporting your work or the work of your students. Our goal is to have you talk about what you know best – your area of expertise or your project. Our approach with donors is to be respectful of them and their interests. Our goal is to set you up for success. We will set up the logistics and will usually talk about funding specifics with the donor in a private conversation. That way when you are part of the meeting, the donor is completely focused on you and your story.
