The registration period for this meeting has ended.



Nearly 625 freestanding early childhood education (ECE) programs across the Episcopal Church provide outstanding service to young children and their families. Their continued vitality is foundational to the overall success of Episcopal education.

Episcopal elementary and secondary schools, which serve students for a significant number of years, have long known that abiding relationships and partnerships are critical to the health of the school. But how do ECE programs, which have students for one or two years, nurture such long term relationships and partnerships? Is it even possible?

This day-long seminar will help you learn how to create, sustain, and leverage philanthropic, alumni/ae, and other relationships to support fundraising and programmatic efforts over the long term.

You will learn specific strategies and approaches from two experienced ECE leaders who have built successful annual fund and capital campaigns while engendering deep connections with families and students who have long-since graduated.
