This session explores best practice in relationship fundraising through the story of a visionary $5 million gift to the University of Notre Dame Australia. Thanks to the Churack Family’s extraordinary support, Notre Dame is the only university in the Sothern Hemisphere to embed chronic pain education centrally within its medical program—setting a global benchmark.  
We will explore the strategies behind securing the gift, the impact of the Churack Chair, how it is improving healthcare outcomes across WA and beyond, and key lessons from transforming a lapsed donor into the university’s largest philanthropic gift.
