NONPROFIT
BREAKFAST FORUM SERIES for Session III: TO ENDOW OR NOT TO ENDOW May 8, 2007 (7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.) Breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Program starts promptly at 7:45 a.m. Almost every day, some nonprofit leaders lament to us that they wish they had an endowment or that they had a larger endowment. Their wish for a regular recurring source of unrestricted funds certainly is understandable, but is an endowment always the answer? Are there nonprofits that should not pursue endowment? Join us as two of the Midwest Center’s Senior Fellows, Gary Baker and David Stallings, discuss their perspectives on the use of this financial strategy and challenge each other on their answers to the question of “To Endow or Not to Endow?” David Renz, director of the Midwest Center, will moderate this Breakfast Forum discussion as we explore the merits of whether an endowment strategy is right for your organization. Gary Baker, Ph.D. and David Stallings, CPA, MPA are Senior Fellows with the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Adjunct Professors with the University of Missouri - Kansas City. Gary Baker has had an extensive and distinguished career of public service leadership through his teaching and work in and with nonprofits, foundations, governments, universities, and business and community-wide initiatives. He holds an Interdisciplinary Ph.D. with emphasis in nonprofit entrepreneurism and urban education. Prior to joining UMKC, Gary’s positions included: Director of Youth Development and Manager of Planning and Support Services for the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, and President and CEO of Crittenton, a children’s psychiatric hospital and family mental health program. David Stallings has had an exceptional career that spans both business and public service organizations. David is a CPA and holds an MPA in Nonprofit Leadership; his current work with the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership includes teaching and consulting on behalf of nonprofit and government organizations. His services include fiscal work with nonprofits and their boards, board development, and organizational planning and development. Prior to joining UMKC, David served as Managing Shareholder of Marks, Stallings and Campbell, CPAs, one of the largest locally owned CPA firms in the Kansas City area. His professional focus was on litigation services, investigations, business valuations, and traditional accounting and auditing services.
