Using Printed Materials to Maximize Fundraising Income for Schools
When the Rodeo Association sold the calendar around the community and at rodeo events for $15, 700 were sold out of 750, generating $10,500. After paying for the printing cost, the Rodeo Association netted almost $8,000 while honoring its graduating seniors.
Making student service real to donors
Archbishop Murphy High School, a coeducational Catholic college-preparatory school in Everett, Wash., got creative by using its annual report to honor donors and raise money for the school. The report included photos of the students in the many services they contribute to the community, along with descriptive captions and a donation envelope in the report’s center.
