Beloit Forgoes Traditional Campaign in Favor of Project Based Approach
While higher education fund-raising these days is dominated by large comprehensive campaigns, Beloit College President Scott Bierman decided to approach giving from a different angle. The college is developing a plan, which administrators are referring to as a “modular” or “project-based” strategy, through which it will raise money one or two projects at a time over a shorter time frame than a traditional campaign.

In total, administrators believe the new approach will be as successful, if not more, for the college than more traditional models. Read More
