Brainyfrog Marketing & Consulting, LLCPROBLEM

An elementary school located in an urban, large school district was facing budget cuts, increasing class sizes and fewer programs. The student population was a mix of relatively high income (approx. 25%) and relatively lower income (approx. 50%). 42% of children qualified for the free lunch program. There was a need to raise an increasing amount of funds to cover the students’ needs – teacher salaries, field trips, supplies, etc. The major annual fundraiser had been following the same format and delivering a capped amount of funding each year, which was not enough. Further, the amount of energy expended by volunteers was tremendous and volunteer burnout was occurring.
