Alvin Hines II | Sr. Associate Athletics Director | Florida Atlantic University – One Question Leadership Podcast

@1QLeadership Question: How does donor feedback and creativity fit in fundraising?

We asked Alvin Hines II, Sr. Associate Athletics Director at FAU, about athletics fundraising. The key topics covered were how his personality fits within the specific niche of athletic development, what is the process of fundraising in an athletics department, and how much input do donors (and potential donors) have in how funds should be used.

• Personality is a big factor in fundraising
• Season ticket holders are a starting point
• Many big ideas come from donors
• Donors will most likely support their own ideas

Hines notes that one of the biggest jobs of a fundraiser is to leverage your current assets, whether that be under utilized space to events that already exist. – One Question Leadership Podcast – Tai M. Brown
