Raising Money for Secondary Schools
Raising Money for Secondary Schools
It is an indisputable fact that some schools manage to raise far more money from non-governmental sources than others.
When one looks at this it is often tempting to explain the difference by the nature of the local community or the wealth of the parents, but that in fact can be misleading. The difference in fundraising is often caused by the methods and approach used rather than the nature of the local community.
There are in fact two sources of funding for secondary schools outside the normal income supplied by the government and local authority: parents and businesses.
Unfortunately some of the most obvious ideas for fundraising from these two groups can actually end up costing the school more than they bring in – and many schools find themselves virtually starting from scratch, without an awareness of all the ideas that other schools have developed over time.
Raising Money for Secondary Schools is a report that deals with both raising money from parents and raising money from local business, and the results that such activities can bring in. Common errors in fundraising (the ones which can cost more than is brought in) are highlighted, along with workable solutions. There is also a special section on sponsorship, including 22 unique sponsorship plans that the school can start to operate straight away.
The book is available as a photocopiable volume so that sponsorship ideas and other suggestions can be copied and circulated among members of the fund raising group before a meeting, as well as being available on CD so that it can be loaded onto the school intranet for access by all interested parties.
