Financial Health Report

Gillian Matteson reviewed the attached financial presentation and stated that the financial measurements were in order and the differences in the expected and actual amounts are related to timing of funding. 

B.

Annual Board Fundraising Campaign

Gillian Matteson reviewed the Board commitment of raising $10,000 and identified the need to start discussions with the Board with respect to individual giving plans. These conversations will start with the September 2022 Board Meeting with a goal of Board commitments no later than the November 2022 Board Meeting.

C.

Online Giving Infrastructure

Gillian Matteson discussed the need to have a technology interface that would allow The Anchor School to receive philanthropic donations. Ideally this would be through a link on the TAS website that would launch to the interface. Josh Pinto Taylor will explore the options within SalesForce over the next few weeks. The goal is no later than the November 2022 Board Meeting to have this infrastructure in place. 

D.

Grant Prospecting

Gillian Matteson discussed the importance for the Board to provide any information on potential grants to the Committee. Josh Pinto Taylor reported a grant award of $100,000 (New School Leader Fellow) which allows TAS to now compete for an additional $300,000.

Schedule CRM Professional Development
