Your School Fundraising Plan!

You need a school fundraising plan!

The more you can create a cohesive fundraising plan for your school, the more you'll benefit!

Consider this...  By pulling together to promote one effective fundraising effort instead of many, you'll realize the following benefits:

1) Raise more $
2) Fundraise Less
3) Keep distractions in school to a minimum
4) Minimize papers home to busy parents
5) Increase school spirit around ONE cause!

When you sit down to plan your fundraising strategy for the year, consider how keeping things simple could raise you more!  Conversely, does adding a bunch of little fundraisers undermine the respect parents have for the school? 

I know first-hand that the offers that a school promotes does in fact leave an impression on the parent. 

Simplify your plan and get everyone behind you!  Save time and effort and fundraise LESS but MORE EFFECTIVELY!

Is there anything you can think of that you could do to get your school to rally around one main fundraiser?

As always, comments encouraged.

Ok, until next time!

Fundraising Strategy for Elementary School Districts, School Principals and PTA / PTO Parent Groups


Let's talk strategy for a moment...

Picture in your mind, the big game.  An excited crowd anticipates a big play at just the right moment.  The moment arrives but unfortunately, the coach hasn't planned very well and it turns out they don't have one. 

They blow the big game and nobody on either side is happy with the way the game ended.

Really?

Do we think this is a reality and the coach has no plan?  I know how ridiculous it sounds but this is the way we treat school fundraising.  It's like the win or lose is decided randomly.

I'm here to tell you all that a solid fundraising plan will allow you to win the championship every year!

Tomorrow, I'll discuss that steps to take specifically, but for today, just know you can change the game of chance you play with your current fundraising plan and have consistent wins every time.  It's possible and probable!

Until Next Time!
