Updated Financial Report
Paige reviewed the updated financial report. The YTD actuals through March for the Gather & Grow fund are $96,003.37. With recurring gifts and pledges, the projected total is $102,769.03, putting us within reach of our $105,000 annual goal for the campaign.
Board participation has reached 100%. Overall participation rates are otherwise low and there was discussion about developing strategies to grow participation next year.
The No Ball Wonderball event was a success, more than doubling its fundraising goal and raising $21,564.
The committee discussed the operational approach to managing all types of giving to the school and centralizing tax receipt administration with the Business Office. It was determined that the school will make a recommendation on how/whether to manage comprehensive giving to the school and restricted giving.
