• Prospect & Donor Relations

A key proponent of fund raising is the identification and cultivation of prospective donors and the recognition and continued cultivation of current donors. These activities should be coordinated with the Office of Institutional Advancement. If you have contact with an individual who meets the above description, or invite such an individual to campus, please contact a member of the Institutional Advancement Team to advise them.

Alumni Relations: Alumni constitute a large portion of the SUNY Cobleskill donor base. Management and cultivation of alumni donors is vital to our advancement efforts. No alumnus should be contacted for the purpose of visitation, solicitation of donations, etc. without prior notification of and coordination with the Office of Alumni Affairs. Any time an alumnus is invited to campus for a group event or individual meeting, the Office of Alumni Affairs should be notified for the purposes of alumni recognition and donor cultivation. Members of the SUNY Cobleskill faculty and staff who are attending off-campus activities that may involve alumni (conferences, competitions, fairs, field trips, trade shows, etc.) should notify the Office of Alumni Affairs 14 weeks in advance of the event so that the office can plan accordingly (request meetings, send gifts, manage follow-up, etc.).
