The following 20 statistics provide an excellent overview of how schools are meeting their fundraising goals and where they can improve, including how they can better reach the Generation X and millennial parents and alums that typically make up the primary donor base for<\/span> preschools<\/span><\/a>, primary and secondary schools, and higher institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

9. 55%<\/span><\/a> of alums said they would give a small gift of $100 or less.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

10. Giving to higher education institutions in the United States reached <\/span>$58 billion<\/span><\/a> in FY2023, a 2.5% decline over the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. School groups raise more than<\/span> $1.5 billion<\/span><\/a> each year by selling products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

12. This product fundraising brings in approximately<\/span> 80%<\/span><\/a> of the dollars that are used to provide \u201cextras\u201d for schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

13. 35%<\/span><\/a> of schools average $0 to $5,000 in annual earnings from fundraising, with 27.1% earning more than $75,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

14. 67%<\/span><\/a> of principals turn fundraising decisions over to their PTO or PTA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Understanding School Fundraising Data\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are quite a few things that stand out in these school fundraising statistics. As we delve deeper into schools\u2019 donor behavior and fundraising activities, look for areas where your school could improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Tailor Campaigns to Donor Preferences\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Parents of students in elementary, secondary, colleges, and universities are now primarily <\/span>millennials<\/span><\/a> or from Generation X. Both of these generations are familiar with the internet and typically include it in all areas of their lives because they either grew up with it or learned to adapt early on. No wonder donors from these generations are more open and likely to give online!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With 40% of millennials already signed up for recurring donations, it\u2019s a significant oversight that one in 10 universities don\u2019t offer that option on their websites. And nine out of 10 that do have this option do not provide compelling reasons to drive their existing <\/span>recurring donations<\/span><\/a>. Remember, if you don\u2019t ask, you won\u2019t receive the gift!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/b> Make signing up and managing recurring donation plans as easy as possible to encourage more participation. Donorbox allows you to add<\/span> recurring donation<\/span><\/a> options to your school\u2019s fundraising pages and ask for daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual gifts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Understand Fundraising Trends and Opportunities\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, school and<\/span> college<\/span><\/a> fundraising has fallen behind other nonprofit sectors when it comes to new and recurring donors, as is seen in the above list of school fundraising statistics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One reason for this may be institutions’ limited response after receiving the donation. Providing details about the impact of a gift and encouraging further action soon after the donor gives will increase the chances of a repeat donation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your website\u2019s thank-you page is a powerful tool! Providing an infographic or video that shows how gifts help current and future students significantly impacts donors. Also, share additional options to give back to reach those seeking volunteer and advocacy opportunities.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make a small change:<\/b> Add an e-newsletter sign-up form to the thank-you page of your website. Then, send out a monthly update with content like impact reports, events, and volunteer activities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Take Ownership of Your School Fundraising\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

It may seem like an excellent idea for 67% of school principals to turn fundraising over to<\/span> PTAs<\/span><\/a> or PTOs. After all, most primary schools don\u2019t have fundraising staff. The problem is that PTAs and PTOs are parent-led organizations. While passionate, most parents do not have <\/span>fundraising<\/span><\/a> experience and will end their support after their kids leave school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, school administrations should work alongside these organizations and take a significant role in fundraising. Online fundraising tools like <\/span>Donorbox<\/span><\/a> can make it easy for parents to give one-time and recurring donations and help parent fundraising groups raise more with <\/span>peer-to-peer<\/span><\/a> and crowdfunding campaigns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schools can also form community partnerships with local businesses to support the facility and students. Adding <\/span>online fundraising<\/span><\/a> and relationship-building tactics can lessen reliance on product sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 Ideas to Help You Mobilize Your Community and Raise Funds for Your School\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Keep reading if you\u2019re ready to increase your school\u2019s fundraising success!\u00a0 We\u2019ve listed five ideas to help you connect with new and recurring donors based on the learnings from our school fundraising statistics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

1. Offer More Online Giving Options\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Online fundraising is necessary today. Schools and higher education institutions cannot afford to ignore this fact. In addition to ease of use, online fundraising tools provide various options for donors, including peer-to-peer and crowdfunding campaigns, online stores, and recurring donations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s <\/span>a great example<\/span><\/a> of a crowdfunding campaign in action. An English department instructor is raising funds for less privileged students who do not have the funds to buy books at the school\u2019s annual book fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

2. Ask for Matching Gifts\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Do your donors know they could double their gift amounts? Many corporations <\/span>match<\/span><\/a> their employees\u2019 donations to their favorite charities. Make it easy for your school\u2019s supporters to double their annual and monthly gifts in just a few steps by using tools like the <\/span>Donorbox + Double the Donation integration<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>matching gift challenge<\/span><\/a> is another excellent way to excite donors! Contact local businesses or major donors to find a significant fundraising gift and develop a campaign to match that amount. You\u2019ll raise more money and motivate parents, alums, and more to get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

3. Encourage Recurring Donations\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

While most alums are interested in giving to their institution yearly, statistics show that higher education institutions are not leveraging this properly. Colleges and universities can change these numbers by adding <\/span>recurring giving<\/span><\/a> options to their donation form, making it easy for donors to sign up and forget about it until next month, quarter, or year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not sure how to get started?<\/b> Here are 10 tips<\/span><\/a> to help you design an incredible recurring giving program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

4. Form Long-Term Community Partnerships\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Schools can\u2019t solely rely on parents to meet their fundraising goals and expect long-term success. Relationships with businesses, other community leaders, and groups must be part of your school\u2019s strategic plans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/b> Reach out to <\/span>community members<\/span><\/a> with details about an exciting event that offers affordable vendor and <\/span>sponsorship<\/span><\/a> opportunities. Look for businesses that want to market to your students and families.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

5. Send Donor Impact Reports\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most donors donate to their alma mater because they want to give back. This may be enough to get that first donation, but without hearing about these gifts’ impact, the money will likely dry up. A monthly or quarterly newsletter with <\/span>impact reports<\/span><\/a> and infographics is an easy way to share how donors\u2019 gifts are making a difference in the lives of students and the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know:<\/b> Donorbox makes reporting easier thanks to a selection of ready-to-use reporting templates? Find out more <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Conclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

As is shown in these interesting school fundraising statistics, a sustainable school fundraising strategy relies on more than simply soliciting donations. It requires a strong focus on building relationships with various stakeholders like PTA members, parents, businesses, and alums.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To increase support for your school, consider donor behavior and how you can best leverage tools like online giving forms. Then, create innovative approaches to fundraising that match donors\u2019 interests.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
