In “Making Connections: The Art of Building Sustainable Donor Relationship and Long-Term Funding Resources,” Liz Prince, MEd and Kelly Truesdell, MPH, CHES explore potential funding structures for collegiate recovery programs, and examine ways in which CRP professionals can build donor relationships or work with advancement and development offices to do so. They discuss topics such as knowing your needs and expenses, having an elevator pitch for the program, sharing student testimonials to tell your story while still protecting anonymity, and building relationships with any potential supporter – especially since people may donate more than just financially.
Staff Chats take place on Tuesdays at 12pm ET and explore new topics each week!
This programming was made possible by the Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS), a national SAMHSA-funded initiative dedicated to advancing recovery support nationwide. CARS provides training, technical assistance, and innovative resources for individuals, organizations, and institutions supporting recovery.
As a partner organization, the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) partners with CARS to expand technical assistance, best practices, and institutional guidance for collegiate recovery programs (CRPs). Together, we are equipping higher education institutions with the tools and expertise needed to build, sustain, and grow recovery-supportive environments on their campuses.
