Foundation Funding Trends in Higher Education
When: Monday, June 29, 2009, 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time
Program description
Join Larry McGill, the head of the Foundation Center's research department, for a timely discussion on foundation funding trends in the field of higher education. This overview will cover what foundations throughout the country are doing to address the recession and how colleges and universities can best work with economic recovery efforts underway in their communities. The webinar will include data on foundation funding trends in higher education over time and will provide guidance for how institutions can better focus their grantseeking efforts. Some commentary on the general funding outlook for 2009 and 2010 will also be included.

To attend the webinar you need a computer with speakers and an Internet connection of 56 Kbps (dial-up) or better. Event instructions will be e-mailed to all registrants and a quick link to the webinar will also be placed at this program registration page prior to the event.
We use Microsoft Office Live Meeting for our webinars. Click here now to download the software. Please be sure to select the option to “Install Microsoft Office Live Meeting Client.” The process should take no more than a few minutes, and you will not need to download it again once you have it installed on your computer.
NOTE: If you are a Mac user and/or unable to install Microsoft Office Live Meeting Client, you can still participate in our webinars by selecting the option to use the “Web Access/Web-based console.” For the audio portion of the webinar, you will need to call in (details will be provided in the confirmation e-mail).
