In the midst of an ambitious campaign, Otterbein University faced the challenge of transitioning after the departure of its Vice President of Development. To navigate this pivotal moment, the university turned to Benefactor Group for support. We placed an experienced higher education professional in the position and collaborated with university leadership for six months to refine campaign strategies, manage staff, oversee systems, and sustain fundraising progress. Additionally, we provided proactive coaching to the development team, helping them maintain focus and drive toward the campaign’s goals during this critical period.
