[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. Our k8 did something like this, where the funding goal of % participation was basically more important that the total amount. I’m not sure why, but the school’s messaging was along the lines of “even if it’s only $20, please donate.” They even made it a competition where the class with the highest *percentage of participation* among families, not total raised, got a little party. [/quote] It's mainly for marketing purposes. Essentially our school is so great that all/most of our student families donate back every year. Nonprofits do the same thing with their board members... our board believes in our cause so much that 100% of our board donates. You should believe in it too... [/quote] That's funny...don't you usually have to donate a ton of $$$s in order to get on the board of most NPOs?[/quote]
