Fundraising Update
II. General Development Committee Priorities
A.
Annual Fund Campaign Update
LF: Based on Numbers as of end of the camping we were able to reach 55% of Goal ($83K). I think this year we missed additional push to keep parents and students engage.
MA: Last year teachers included details of the challenge on their weekly emails to parents (Parents read more those emails that the weekly newsletter) . This may be one of the reason why we did not get as much traction this year.
Bianca: at previous private school annual fund was also pushed to family members of the students. Emails from family members were collected at orientation day.
LF: our approach to fundraising for the school has been Annual Fund for students family and GLOBE Trot for extended family and friends , however, we may want to take Bianca's point in consideration for the second push of Annual fund later in the school year.
Meredith: what is the % of parents donating to the school and is that a requirement for other funding
MA: the 100% participation required is for Board Members
B.
Capital Campaign - Pending to be confirmed
Drew R was not able to participate on the meeting so LF gave a short explanation of the status of capital campaign based on the slide prepared by DR and information shared with LF.
Any question around the topic can be addressed directly to DR. He would keep the development committee aware of any updates regarding this topic
III. Subcommittee Discussions
A.
Fundraising Events Subcommittee
GLOBE Trot
LF: after meeting with HOS and Executive Director the following decisions were made :
- Event will be done at each campus on November 11th
- Schedule will be a mirror of last's year schedule for both campuses
- GLOBE trot spirit wear with new Logo approved to be launched on weekly newsletter
- Parents will be allowed but instructions should be shared about parking and do and don's during the event
-Pep Rally to be scheduled . MA: The school have organized it in the past because this is done at the school during the school hours . LF will discuss with HOS of the best timing to do it
MA: because the event will be bigger this year we need to consider bringing security for both campuses, we even should consider a volunteer that makes parents sign in to keep track of who is getting in.
LF: Sponsorship Flyer is finalized and will be shared with the committee so we can all start working on getting some sponsors for the event.
Bianca: we could consider having as well water stations sponsored by companies as another way to bring funds
LF: will work on a detailed list of task and activities that will be share shortly with volunteers so we all can start working on those
