Do You Want That Name on Your Building? Disruption in Philanthropic Naming in Canada

Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020, 2019 3:15 - 4:00 p.m | Vincent Duckworth, CFRE (ViTreo Group) and Janice Wing (Red Deer College)

Naming spaces and programs to recognize donors and alumni is a common and contemporary fundraising practice but many institutions do not have modern policies. Donor recognition is complex. Philanthropic naming and sponsorship rights are crucial to philanthropy and having the right policies in place can bring new life into your fundraising program. Vincent and Janice will share what’s disrupting philanthropic naming for Post-Secondary Institutions and how your organization can prepare policies that will protect it. What are the issues (and opportunities) with accepting a bequest as a naming gift? How can you protect your institution from a naming scandal?

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the best practices and policies for a naming and sponsorship program that not only pleases donors but also protects your organization

• Understand what’s disrupting naming right now

• Understand how to develop a naming program that aligns with your mission
