People in Fundraising, Season 1, Ep. 6: Evan Gallivan, Rhode Island School of Design

A long-held goal to understand the "big picture" of fundraising from many perspectives has helped lead Evan to have a fascinating career. From the annual fund to donor relations, Operations, Strategy, staff management, and campaign planning, Evan has crafted a richly diverse resume in higher education, small-shop colleges, and now at one of the leading art and design institutions in the country.
