PHILANTHROPYJANUARY 2018EMPLOYEES URGED TO HELP RECRUIT DONORSThe UMB community can play an active role in the University’s 750 million Catalyst Campaign. And it doesn’t just involvepulling out a checkbook or making a pledge.“Keep your eyes and ears open,” Thomas J. Sullivan, CFRE, MS,chief philanthropy officer and vice president, said in the featuredpresentation at the President’s Quarterly Q&A on Dec. 12.“Tell us your suggestions or when you encounter people who arephilanthropic.”He gave the example of a UMB employee being at a dinner partyand hearing that someone had just sold their business for 100million. “We’d like to know that,” he said. “So, talk to yourdevelopment people in the respective schools, talk to us [in theOffice of Philanthropy]. There are ways we can reach out to thesepeople and we will do it in a very dignified fashion.”Catalyst is the largest fundraising effort in the University’s 210year history. The effort encourages meaningful philanthropicsupport from alumni and friends toward resources that willsupport the University’s collaborative work relative to five BigIdeas: conquering chronic pain, eliminating addiction, furtheringcritical disease research and care, embracing entrepreneurship,and advancing community engagement.UMB President Jay A. Perman, MD, formally announced thecampaign at UMB’s Founders Week Gala on Oct. 14 and hepreceded Sullivan’s comments with some of his own to the staff,faculty, and students who gathered in the Health Sciences FacilitiesII Auditorium for the Q&A. He said the University sometimes hasn’tbragged enough about its accomplishments in education, research,clinical care, and service. “But now, whether it’s U.S.News & WorldReport rankings, anecdotal remarks, the confidence that the regentshave in us, the legislature, the governor, we get that respect.”Perman said the money raised by the Catalyst Campaign notonly helps the University make research breakthroughs andretain and attract a talented workforce, but it’s also key to UMB’scommunity engagement work. And those efforts are gettingnoticed, he said, offering an anecdote about a chance encounterwith a former legislator over the summer.“He said, ‘Thank you for what you do for Baltimore,’” Permansaid. “I pass this on because it’s indicative of everybody’s workhere. That is a point of pride that you need to share in. So, if youfeel that pride in where you work, then I’m assigning the wholeUMB family to make this Catalyst Campaign a priority.”Sullivan, who quoted Winston Churchill (“We make a livingby what we get. We make a life by what we give.”), pointed outTHOMAS J. SULLIVANphilanthropy’s impact. It helps to fund student scholarships,faculty and research support, technology, community serviceinitiatives such as the CURE Scholars Program, interprofessionaleducation programs, and much more. He praised the state ofMaryland’s funding to higher education as generous but notlikely to grow substantially, as is also the case with federal aid.“Philanthropy is the only elastic source of revenue we have,” Sullivansaid. “There are billions of dollars out there to be had. There aremany, many people looking for meaningful organizations andinstitutions through which to help humanity, to advance society.And they are looking to connect with institutions like us. This meanswe’ve got to do a good job of articulating what UMB is all about,where it’s headed, what it aims to achieve, and, most importantly,how it’s going to change the world.”UMB’s last capital fundraising campaign, which ended in 2012,raised 660 million, surpassing its goal by 10 million, Permansaid. The current Catalyst Campaign is nearly halfway to its goal,standing at 346 million, and that 750 million “is merely aminimum target,” for when it concludes in December 2020.In closing his presentation, Sullivan praised the Catalyst Campaign’sco-chairs, UMB Foundation trustees Ellen H. Yankellow, PharmD’96, and Brian J. Gibbons, JD ’87, as well as the 43-person cabinet,all of whom are volunteering their time to the effort.“Philanthropy should be embraced by all of us in this University,”Sullivan said. “It’s really everyone’s concern. It’s going to give Dr.Perman, the deans, and the leadership cohort the flexibility toaddress a lot of challenges going forward. We are very optimisticthat with the leadership, the momentum, and the velocity we arebuilding at UMB, we will do great things through philanthropy.”— Lou Cortina and Chris ZangUMARYLAND.EDU9
