The types of projects independent schools fundraise for and the messages they use when communicating with donors have shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With an accelerated move away from buildings and facilities fundraising and the growth of bursaries fundraising, it’s important to understand how to reimagine your school’s case for support.
This episode explores why schools should connect their fundraising case for support to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and how to do this for hardship, bursary and capital (building) fundraising. It also revisits one of the foundations of an inspirational case for support: the importance of storytelling.
