The Ask OLLI blog is a resource for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute administrators to facilitate discussion on a variety of topics related to the creation and management of OLLI institutes nationwide.
Entries to the blog are called "posts" and can only be submitted by blog editors. Please contact Anne Cardale at the OLLI National Resource Center if you have an article suggestion for the AskOLLI editors.
Each post has a "comment" section where blog subscribers can submit their own remarks and responses to the post. A subscriber must be logged in to comment on a post. A login link is available at the bottom of the right-hand column, as well as at the end of each posting page.
Although the Ask OLLI blog is publicly viewable, commenting is closed to non-subscribers. For more information on Ask OLLI, or if you wish to create a subscriber account please contact Anne Cardale.
Sandee Binyon, OLLI at Univeristy of Arizona, asks:
Do any other OLLIs invest their donated (moneys from bequests, in memory of, etc) with a commercial investment firm or fund? If so which one and has this been a satisfactory arrangement?
(A note: OLLI\UA is an independent nonprofit with an affiliation agreement with the University of Arizona, but UA does not handle our donated funds)
David Wilson, OLLI at University of Kansas, asks:
As your OLLI grows, particularly if you have multiple sites, how does your print catalog reflect the growth of your OLLI? Do you make one big catalog or add more catalogs?
Sarah Benton, OLLI at Penn State, asks:
We are looking to increase our current endowment and are interested in starting a legacy program. Have any of you established a legacy giving program? If so, do you have a legacy brochure that you use? Would you share with me how your legacy programs works and whether or not it has been successful?
