CAMPAIGN STRATEGY STUDY
Process

• Presented Internal Readiness Report
• Developed Case Summary
• Identified Potential Interviewees
• Sent Pave the Way Letters
• AH Scheduled Interviews, Confirmed Times, Sent Case Summary
• In process of conducting up to 30 interviews; now at the halfway point.

SUMMARY POINTS OF FINDINGS 

• Overall positive image although, as in most schools, there were individual concerns expressed.
• Some would like a better understanding of “charter schools” and how they operate.
•  A desire for greater communication and transparency for how decisions are made.
• A number of interviewees expressed a need for clarity in fundraising – annual fundraising by GLOBE, the PTCC, other special fundraising efforts.
• Positive reactions to plans for the new campus.
• Questions focused on GLOBE’s ability to raise the full amount.

NEXT STEPS

• Conclude interviews within the month.
• Prepare a full report for the Board with recommendations on three areas:
  • Case for support
  • Names of Leaders who should be involved
  • Potential philanthropic level of support.

If we have not identified the major philanthropic gifts necessary to complete a successful $8 million effort,  the likely recommendation would be to focus on 1-2 smaller components of the new campus plan and to raise a smaller amount through a major gifts effort.
