As a part of implementing Brownell Talbot’s strategic plan and to align with philanthropic best practices, BT is reinvigorating an important part of its fundraising structure.
“The Brownell Talbot Foundation has been dormant for years, and with renewed energy around strengthening BT’s philanthropy and sustainability, the Brownell Talbot Foundation is a relevant and important component as we continue to build a culture of philanthropy on our campus,” said Vice President of Advancement Shannon Gilroy.
The Foundation’s work and focus will be dedicated to raising funds for campus improvements, endowments, and school operations.
“A strong Foundation is a sign of longevity and stability for Brownell Talbot,” she said.
The Brownell Talbot Foundation is a Nebraska nonprofit corporation and will be led by a Board composed of leaders in the BT and Omaha community.
Going forward, all tax-deductible donations to Brownell Talbot will be made through the Brownell Talbot Foundation.
“There is a bold vision for the future of BT, and re‑establishing the Foundation will help us achieve it,” Gilroy said.
The Foundation is the mechanism through which the strategic plan can be fulfilled, and more. It is because of the generous BT community that the past will be honored as BT moves toward a sustainable future.
Always advancing, always BT.
