Regional Fundraising

Proposals in the Pipeline

  • We will contact each fundraiser with a proposal in the queue to seek instruction for how to proceed if they want a print copy to mail or a digital copy to email.
  • Lin and David will be accessible via cell phone and email. We can also arrange Zoom meetings.

New Proposals

  • Lin and David will be accessible via cell phone and email. We can also arrange Zoom meetings.
  • Business as usual in terms of process. The only difference will be working from home instead of the office.
  • We have a recent precedent for designing email and digital-friendly proposals.

Video

  • Communication with Lin and David via cell phone, email and Zoom.
  • While we will not be able to shoot new footage, we do have the ability to make videos similar to the MacArthur Foundation videos.
  • We can use stock footage, photographs, and supplied videos.
  • We can write original scripts and commission voiceovers or record voiceovers ourselves.
  • Kathy Wadolowski will be dedicated to the voiceover. We will supply her with the microphone and training to record from home.

Printing

Express Press plans to operate business as usual. FedEx can still print at multiple locations as of now. Those who request printed copies will need to pick them up at either Express Press or the FedEx location they have designated. Lin Wang is the Storytelling point-person for printing.

Welcome Zach Thurston to Annual Giving

I am excited to announce the latest addition to Annual Giving. Today, Zach Thurston joins us as the Email Campaign and Technology Specialist on the Marketing Operations team. Zach will be leading our efforts in becoming world-class email storytellers while focusing on game-changing innovations we can implement with new technologies.

Zach is a graduate of the Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL with bachelor’s degrees in Marketing and Graphic Design.

Zach comes to Notre Dame from Petoskey, Michigan where he served as the Creative Director at the Manthei Group. He spends his free time planning trips to new countries he hasn’t yet visited and with his new puppy, Nox.

We’re excited to work with Zach as he shares his diverse skillset with the University. Please join me in welcoming Zach to the Notre Dame Family!
