Private schools provide all kinds of great opportunities for students to grow and learn without the restrictions that are inherent in a public school setting. Lesson plans can be tailored to better fit the needs of the students and the overall level of involvement and achievement tends to be much higher at private schools. But private schooling is not cheap and most rely on school fundraisers to help supplement the money that comes in as tuition. Many schools even have required fund raising participation levels for the parents. This high level of need for funding has led to a near constant search for successful private school fundraising ideas that can be used to continue bringing in funds.
With our experience having helped thousands of schools, both public and private, with their fund raisers, we began to notice a common trend where customers were tired of the old ways of raising money and most of them were asking schools for more ways to just donate money. .
For private school fundraisers, just accepting donations is a really intriguing idea. For the most part, raising money through donations is easier for everybody involved than a traditional product based fundraising idea, not to mention something really involved like a school carnival. There is no need to tally orders and sort and distribute products to each participating student.
Some private schools have experimented in the past with offering parents buy-outs where they could donate a certain percentage less than the required fundraising amount because the donation was actually more valuable to the school than a product purchased for the same price.
Other schools have offered busy parents the opportunity to buy out volunteer activities. For example, you could either volunteer for an hour in the copy room or donate $10. Private school fundraisers like this tend to raise a lot of money.
To simplify and improve the whole donation system, we created our Online Donation Fundraiser which has proven to be one of the very best private school fundraising ideas. It offers a number of ways to solicit donations and even the ability to track those donations by individual student. There is even a system in place where you can automatically send out reminders to people who haven’t donated yet and thank you notes to those who have.
