Fundraising Idea of the Month:
Parental Support

by Doug Nash


The success of any school fundraiser is based on parental support; the more parents you get involved the more successful you will be. Here are a few points for you to consider getting and maintaining this crucial support.

  • Put a lot of time and effort into communicating all relevant information to the parents in a timely manner. With the need for parents to work nowadays it is critical that they have plenty of warning to prepare their time schedules, financial budgets or both to support their child and therefore the school. If they find out at the last moment what is going on they might withhold their support even if they could do what you are asking for.

  • Be specific in what fundraisers you are planning. Written fundraiser plans are excellent in this regard as it makes sure that confusion is kept to a minimum. Surprises are also kept to a minimum and as a result parents can plan ahead to give you maximum support.

  • Never miss an oppurtunity to show your appreciation for all support no matter how big or small. All those small inputs add up and without them you will find it hard to have any real success over an extended period of time. Show them that you respect them by making sure everyone knows how the money raised was spent and why. Support will very quickly evaporate if you are seen to resemble a secret sect.
