Independent School Guide to Giving Toolkit

The national day of giving, Giving Tuesday, is usually held the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and is an opportunity for people around the world to use their individual power of generosity to remain connected and support their communities. It’s a day when everyone comes together to give back in all forms-acts of kindness, gifts of voice, time, talent and treasure.*

However, it’s no secret that your school relies on donations and fundraisers to help generate non-tuition payments every other day of the year, too. It’s also no secret that tastefully asking your families and community for donations is a science. That’s why we put together a toolkit to provide you with all of the resources you need to get started and keep the momentum going                                    well past Giving Tuesday.
