2021-22 Parent-Led Fundraising Update
We went over our goal for community fundraising this year. The goal has been kept at $550K for the past several years, even though the number of students/families has increased, in order to be conservative.
The group discussed the communication plan for celebrating the success of our Spring fundraiser.
The participation is challenging to track because of all the different ways families can participate as well as donate.
There needs to be more reconciliation/data work done in order to look at community giving comprehensively over the years.
There was a suggestion to start coding alumni, invite them to participate, highlight our alumni, have them come back.
- Opportunities to participate in existing fundraisers (Fall Giving, LNY, Spring fundraiser, gala with honorees)
- Brainstorm additional initiatives and systems, e.g. event (Night Market, LNY, Spring)
In the future, the board match needs to be mentioned to new board members as an opportunity, and articulated in:
- Board statement of agreement and contribution form
- Board manual
- Welcome email
The December board meeting would be a good time to discuss the Board match and agree on an amount with the Board.
Communication support: schedule 3 meetings throughout the year to go over that:
- Fall Giving (Karen)
- Spring fundraiser (Jamie)
There needs to be a conversation to recruit additional/future fundraising volunteers.
