This is a book for school administrators and board members who want to raise substantial sums of money. But be warned; the book is not about running sausage sizzles, auctions or fetes. It’s about defining the school’s financial needs and asking people directly to give money to meet those needs. It’s about personal, philanthropic fundraising.
The message of the book is that most people will give money to a worthwhile cause -- IF you ask them. It’s as simple as that. With that message firmly in mind, the book then gives the complete recipe of how to go about raising money. It covers three proven philanthropic fundraising programs necessary to generate annual funds, major gifts and legacies (or bequests). It covers the complete strategy for principals, development officers, business managers and school board/council members. Here are some of the topics covered:
- Asking for money gifts over breakfast, lunch and dinner (gifts of $5,000 to $50,000 are common)
- Raising money each year by letter, telephone, or via the Internet ($50 to $5,000)
- How to ask someone very special to give $1,000,000 to your school
- Asking people to include your school in their will (sum of money or a percentage of their estate)
- Setting fundraising targets and goals
- How to hire someone -- a development officer -- to do this work
- Sample letters, scripts and strategies
- 16 school fundraisers write about their experiences at raising funds
