Connecting Schools With Great Fundraising Ideas.

I think it is always wise to learn how the best in the business operate. While we are focused on raising money for our schools, there are folks who are hard at work raising millions of dollars for hospitals, national monuments, political campaigns, and universities.

And while our financial goals may be miles and miles apart, our methods aren’t. Of course, someone charged with raising a million dollars for a hospital probably won’t be selling the World’s Finest Chocolate, but they do, just like us, work on developing relationships with our potential donors.

The way they go about building these relationships is what is so fascinating to me. Below, I have provided links to two very large campaigns now ongoing in the United States: the $16.5 million drive for the Crazy Horse monument in South Dakota and the $1.25 billion capital campaign for the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Enjoy and learn!
