Going Beyond, and its 16-million-dollar objective, is the first ever fundraising campaign for New Brunswick Community College (NBCC). When it went public in June of 2022, over 12M had been raised. Amazing! Even more amazing, NBCC’s advancement shop is comprised of four people.

Members of NBCC’s advancement shop will share their experiences with launching their first-ever fundraising campaign, and what it meant to launch during a pandemic. Hear what obstacles they faced and how they are worked as a team to overcome them. They will share an overview of the campaign, what they learned and continue to learn.

Learning Objectives:

• Discover the challenges of laying the tracks while driving the train in preparing the College for its first campaign
• Learn about the obstacles to executing a campaign with a small team and what NBCC is doing to overcome them
• Explore the opportunities that the pandemic presented and how they were leveraged
