How to Give to Our Annual Fund
Raising money can be pretty challenging for a modest school like ours. But then I remind myself we are embarking on this annual fund drive together and that makes me feel better. Jane, our former Admissions Director and Development Director, told me that in the recent past she blew away a room full of school fundraisers by remarking that at our little school over 90% of the community of parents and alumni gave to the Annual Fund, and 100% of staff. And the room full of fundraisers laughed and said, “RICH folk, huh?”
Nope. Definitely not that, but generous as all heck.
