Funded by a grant from The Rockefeller Foundation, a team of GG+A colleagues, led by Consulting Vice President Andy Shaindlin, created an alumni outreach strategy for the Bellagio Center on the shore of Lake Como, Italy. For decades, the Bellagio Center has hosted residents and conference participants in support of The Rockefeller Foundation’s mission: “to promote the well-being of humanity around the world.”

The project revealed emerging practices in alumni engagement for charitable foundations, scholarly and artistic residency programs, fellowships, and other nonprofit organizations.
