How can clearly defining a portfolio’s purpose transform it from a static list of names into a strategic engine for institutional impact?

Join us for Session 2 of the Apra Plug In to Portfolio Optimization 2-day webinar series, Portfolios by Purpose: Maintaining the Right Portfolio for the Role, presented by Ashley Mick.

In this interactive session, participants will examine how articulating a portfolio’s core purpose directly influences its size, composition, activity expectations and overall health benchmarks. Rather than applying a standard one-size-fits-all metric, you will learn practical methodologies to adapt portfolio standards around fundraiser capacity and relationship complexity.

Key Takeaways:
Understand how portfolio purpose directly informs optimal size and prospect composition.
Define health measures and activity metrics tailored to specific development roles.
Learn actionable strategies to refine existing models or establish baseline portfolio standards for your organization.

Whether you are building portfolio standards for the first time or calibrating established metrics, this 2-day learning opportunity offers actionable frameworks to align portfolio management with stronger fundraising outcomes
