A school event fails when it is copied from a banquet
Christian schools raise money from parents, grandparents, partner churches, and donors who are not the same room as a ministry gala. Copying a banquet plan onto a school calendar is how the night gets staffed by the advancement office alone and still misses the families who would have helped. The guide lays out five formats built for schools, with an implementation plan for each, so you can pick the one that fits this year and hand a parent volunteer a job that is already defined.
Who this is for
Advancement directors, development staff, and heads of school. Useful if you run one annual event and want a second format, or if the event you have is being carried by two people.
What you will be able to do after reading it
- Choose a format that matches your calendar and your volunteer base
- Write the implementation plan before you recruit the committee
- Split the work so the advancement office is not the only staff in the room
- Leave the event with a list of families you can invite next time
The plans come from work with Christian schools and the other mission-minded organizations that run events on FundEasy.
