Step By Step Approach For Building A Culture Of Generosity Among Your Parents

Wednesday, September 15  - 1:00-2:00pm ET 

 
By asking our K12 parents (and grandparents) to be a critical part of what God is doing in your school through making financial gifts, you invite them to be a part of God’s work. But the foundation of support you need is unlikely to grow within a transactional model of development. These steps, which take into account the exceptionally busy workload of K12 leaders, can begin transforming your parent giving program into a true partnership that will sustain the work of your school.
 
You’ll walk away with:
  • Scaffolding for growing parent giving from orientation to commencement.
  • Calendar and cadence ideas for a year-long development plan.
  • Actionable steps to reduce (or even eliminate!) dependence on your gala.

Fresh Thinking About Campaigns: A Reason To Ask and A Reason To Give 

Wednesday, October 20 - 1:00-2:00pm ET 


Campaigns continue to have resilience as ways to clarify goals and catalyze donor involvement at extraordinary levels. Done well, campaigns bring clarity and energy to organizational priorities, and vision and urgency to those that love and care for your mission. Therefore: a reason to ask, is a reason to give.
 
 While campaigns have been around for nearly a century, no two are (or should be) alike and their shape, length, and content continue to evolve. We will consider together the crucial elements of a successful campaign and the creative approaches which can energize your organization and those who support it.

You will walk away with:
  • A sense of your readiness for a campaign.
  • Data to evaluate the potential of a campaign for your Christian school, university or ministry organization.
    • With your head of school/president/CEO
    • Your board
    •  Your advancement team
  • Examples of wildly successful campaigns.
  • Cautionary tales of campaigns that have failed (names withheld to protect the guilty).
  • Ways to match your campaign with the culture of your organization and donor community.
