30 | Aspire Awards - Tell Your Story

All About Supporting Philanthropy

Celebrating Our Wins through the Annual Aspire Awards Fellow Advancement Service professionals share their perspectives and experiences with the annual Aspire Awards, designed to recognize colleagues for their accomplishments. Become inspired and get ready to document your achievements after receiving advice from both sides of the award process. Robin and Sholanda will motivate future submissions by explaining how to best describe an innovative, complex project and measure success through impact. The size of your team and the size of the project may not matter as much as you would expect it to. It is the size of your story and the impact your project had on your foundation that matters most. 0.00 Intro: Tell your story 1.30 Diamond Award Winner Intro, Robyn Doughty 3.00 How to Start the Submission Process 7.30 Describe the Impact of Your Improvement 10.05 Budgeting Time and Effort 13.25 Selecting a Project 14.40 Click Submit, and Then What Happens? 18.20 Is It Worth It? 24.55 Juror Intro, Sholanda Martin 27.43 Becoming a Juror 28.40 The Juror Experience 29.50 What Does a Juror Look For? 34.05 Advice on ‘Worthy’ Ideas 43.28 Apply and See What Happens
