In an evolving financial landscape where institutions find themselves with little financial flexibility, how can advancement teams collaborate with business officers and legal counsel to maximize the use of restricted resources? Panelists will share practical approaches for both loosening fund restrictions and leveraging restricted and internally committed balances to address financial needs. They will also cover effective strategies to engage stakeholders in deploying underutilized funds, developing contingency plans, and lessening the financial impact of recent federal directives. This session will conclude with a discussion on innovative uses of AI that can help ensure fund deployment aligns with donor intent and enhances institutional financial resilience.
