If you\u2019re a teacher, a PTA member or faculty staff, you may get anxious when you hear the words \u201cschool fundraising.\u201d Of course, this is perfectly normal – nobody likes the idea of having to ask for money, especially for a school fundraising event!

At My School Connect, we list some proven ways that you can raise funds for your school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start your school fundraising<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take some time to reflect on these questions below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. What are your school\u2019s financial needs for the year?<\/li>
  2. What are your specific goals (e.g. create a list of computer equipment that you\u2019ll need – with their prices)<\/li>
  3. When do you need to have the funds? Consider whether you need them quickly or if you can receive them incrementally throughout the school year.<\/li>
  4. What is the expected timeframe of when you want to receive the funds, including planning and evaluation?<\/li>
  5. Who will be helping you out? Think about all the volunteers, parents and teachers, how many hours they can commit.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
