The third episode of Strategic Shorts, “Turning Capacity Building Initiatives into Compelling Grant Proposals” continues our focus on helping theological education leaders build more sustainable business models. Host Dr. David Rowe welcomes McAllister & Quinn representatives Jessica Gerrity, Sr. VP, Leader of the Higher Education Practice, and Marianne Jordan, Sr. Managing Director of Grants and Federal Offices. Three questions answered in 30 minutes offer insights on pursuing large-scale grants to align with and enhance a school’s mission and operations and support institutional transformation rather than serve as ongoing revenue.

Strategic Shorts, a video series designed to strengthen institutional capacity in theological education, features host the Rev. David Rowe, Ph.D., asking 2 industry experts 3 questions on critical topics relevant to theological education.
