About The Program

"Stewardship is an organization’s philosophical commitment to the value and importance of donors as well as their gifts; a belief, an attitude, that each donor – whether individual, corporate or foundation – contributes more than money, and that gifts are a symbol of the donor’s belief in the values, purpose and importance of the organization."
- Kay Sprinkel Grace, Over Goal!

The Stewardship Stars program will recognize individual and team efforts that are especially effective in nurturing all-important relationships with donors.

The University of California, Irvine is committed to being the leader in donor stewardship as stewardship is the foundation for building lasting relationships between the university and those who become its most passionate long-term advocates.

University of California, Irvine Foundation leaders are convinced that effective stewardship is critical to the future philanthropic success of the organization.

The Foundation is implementing the Stewardship Stars program to encourage and reward enhanced stewardship practices across the campus; the best stewardship is a global/institutional responsibility that is the most effective when practiced by every member of the university community.

Stewardship is not a one-size-fits-all model. Successful stewardship is tailored to the nature of the gift and to the needs, wishes and preferences of the donor whether the donor is an individual, family foundation or corporation.

Stewardship is the process of acknowledging and managing gifts in a consistent, timely and appropriate manner – and in a way that responds to the donor’s wishes and expectations. Good stewardship also provides an opportunity for ongoing communication and relations with donors to demonstrate the use and impact of their gifts.

Many of the most effective stewardship practices as small, inexpensive, and extremely thoughtful. But in every case, appropriateness, timeliness, accuracy and creativity remain at the heart of effective stewardship.

Nominations can be made through an email to:
StewardshipStar@uci.edu.
