Abstract: Advancement services plays a crucial role in supporting fundraising efforts and establishing cohesiveness within the institutional advancement team and is more than just the ‘back office’ of fundraising. It is the department that touches every other role in fundraising, making it the linchpin of any division of institutional advancement. By establishing clear roles and responsibilities, fostering communication and collaboration, leveraging technology, providing training and support and continuously evaluating and improving processes, advancement services can support the organisation's overall fundraising efforts and help ensure long-term success. This paper highlights how a thoroughly defined advancement services office can support the overall fundraising efforts of institutional advancement by implementing measures that avoid silos and ensure sustained growth and innovation, no matter the size of the organisation.
