Modesto shared the most recent draft of the Development Plan highlighting the 4 priorities:
1. Individualized solicitation, engagement, reporting & recognition for donors of 5k (donor wall was mentioned)
2. Min annual fundraising goal of 125k. Modesto further detailed the "use and value of funds " raised.. (scholarships , mini-grants are the most recent addition this year)
3. Annual Fundraising Event : March "gala" - Modesto ask the group if they felt March was a good month for this. After some feedback there was alignment to push for an end of March event.
4. Growing donor and friend network. MM pushed committee to consider bringing people into the school. LD asked MM to forward most recent donor list for review.
Modesto further highlighted the Development Calendar and provided updates. Back to school newsletter to go out this month.
