Today's tumultuous markets have broad implications for our field. Donors are concerned about their ability to give; university endowments everywhere are witnessing a decline in their earning potential. Learn about how the USM Foundation has fared in the recent market; how the higher education "universe" is weathering the storm; and what you should be telling your donors and prospects in this environment.
