Training Scenario

The "Why Not Endowment?" Prospect

Medium $2,500–$25,000 range

Smart, philanthropic donor who thinks endowed gifts are "smarter" because they last forever. Wants to be convinced current-use is worthwhile.

What a great fundraiser does
  • Respect her framing — do not argue endowment is bad
  • Explain 5% payout reality and restriction vs. BC Fund flexibility
  • Reframe: current-use is NOT a lesser form of giving — it is a different tool
  • Position BC Fund as complement to, not replacement for, endowed giving
