Anyone interested in fundraising should listen to this podcast
If you are at all interested in fundraising for your school, then you need to clear your calendar and listen to:
Why Your Fundraiser Flopped By John Mihalyo on Catholic School Leaders. https://cslp.bepodcast.network/episodes/why-did-your-school-not-reach-their-fundraising-goals
And here’s why:
First, a little street cred: John has raised millions of dollars through his fundraising, and he now teachers catholic elementary schools how to increase their fundraising. This guy knows his stuff.
#1: John lists out 13 reasons why your fundraiser isn’t working out how you want, and what you can do to make it better.
#2: Don’t be like 4 year old soccer players: Don’t rush after every great fundraising idea. Make a plan, Give yourself time, and follow through.
#3: He explains the difference between Fundraising and Friendraising 🤯
#4: John explains how to do a post-mortem (even before you start) and evaluate whether your event was successful in your larger idea of creating a culture of giving at your school.
#5: Sponsorships - John talks about how to greatly increase your fundraising by including sponsorships in addition to what you’re already doing.
I just hit the highlights. There’s much more in the episode
Honestly, this podcast is one I wish I had when I was still a principal—and completely changed the way I think about school fundraising.
