Agenda

     
I. Opening Items
  A. Record Attendance
  B. Call the Meeting to Order
  C. Approve Minutes
   
Please thoroughly review minutes and have any amendments typed and ready to put into the chat.

 

These say approved because of an error I made when creating "How To" videos.  We'll still need to review and make amendments if necessary.
II. Development Committee (DC) Business
  A. Material Distribution Update
   
- Did you distribute the materials to the places you signed up on the Community Communication Tracker? 
- Were people aware of PCM?  

 

  B. 'Event' Planning: Virtual Movie Night
   

 

Movie night update (Inside Montessori)
    - Set the date? 
    - How are we marketing the movie night?
    - How are we hosting the watch party? 
    - How are we asking for a donation?  

 

  C. Donor Detail Considerations
   
Consider the following questions and lets start forming a consensus around them....

 

To be added to the Development Plan:
  1. How do we acknowledge donor contributions (letter, post card, gift)?
  2. Is it a tiered-response (donors below $500 get x, donors between $500-$5K get x, etc.... or everyone gets the same)?
  3. If letter or postcard - how soon? (What is the timing (ex w/in 10 days, 30, days, etc)
  4. Mid-year and end-of-year reports to donors? What do they look like - who is responsible? -- currently school Admin and the DC Chair are called out to do this. (virtual or physical mail...do we offer "go paperless" option).
  5. Provide donors the ability to sign up for the newsletter - how do we give them this choice?
  6. How do we promote matching gifts?
  7. End of Year tax document - when is it sent, who is responsible for getting it ready? - currently ideal if FACE leads.
