Details
Auxiliary organizations are under growing pressure to modernize facilities, enhance student experiences, and maintain campus infrastructure—all without access to state funding and often without traditional debt financing. From student union renovations to tenant improvements and vendor partnerships, these projects require creative financial strategies and disciplined reserve management.
This session explores how auxiliaries can take a strategic approach to managing their investment reserves and governance frameworks to support both near-term capital needs and long-term sustainability. We’ll examine how tools like investment policy statements (IPS), reserve utilization guidelines, and committee structures can be tailored to fit the unique needs of auxiliary organizations. We’ll also highlight innovative funding approaches—including structured products, reserve segmentation, and liquidity planning—to help fund mission-critical projects without compromising financial flexibility.
