Pt 1 - Three critical ingredients for an effective school fundraising plan (Clarity)

Of all the important elements of a K12 development plan to focus on, how do you choose the three most critical ones? Which ones will really make your work stronger? In this first episode of a 3 part series, I’m answering that question, introducing what I call the “3 C’s”: Clarity, Community, and Communication before unpacking "Clarity."   A goal or a project is necessary for fundraising, of course, but they’re woefully inadequate as the basis for a real plan, in my experience. Clarity in your purpose and plan should come first. Do you have a stated, overarching PURPOSE and written, organized PLAN for your school’s fundraising efforts? Let's cover how to get that clarity!   Episode 002 is part one of a series about the 3 C’s for a strong K12 Development Plan: Clarity, Community, and Communication. Catch Episodes 003 and 004 to understand the other two critical elements and how mastering all three is necessary to get the fundraising results you really want.    Resources: Free guide on gaining Clarity in your development work: www.kimtjennings.com/getclarity    Learn more and sign up for Kim’s digital course, Onboarding New Parents with Purpose: A Proven Plan for Increasing Generosity at www.kimtjennings.com/cultureofgenerosity    Follow Kim on Instagram and FB @yourk12fundraisingcoach  and on LinkedIn at kimtjenningscfre   Kim Jennings is a Certified Fund Raising Executive and a member of the consultant team at Total Advancement Solutions by Generis.    For more information on Kim’s services as a coach and consultant to leaders and K12 Christian schools visit www.generis.com/Kim-Jennings and www.kimtjennings.com
