Direct Donation Campaign Survey

Runnymede Community:

Feedback

This past September participation in our Annual Direct Donation Campaign hit an all-time low.  The participation rate was just over 50%, and has been declining for the last 5 years.  Other local schools sit at much higher participation rates – around 80% – and Runnymede Parent Council is trying to understand why.

Since the beginning of the Direct Donation Program, we have typically raised $75,000 – $90,000 per year, which accounts for approximately 30% of the school’s annual budget.  These are vital funds that go directly into the incredible programming that enriches our children’s education at Runnymede.

We would really appreciate it if you could fill out this survey to help us adjust our Direct Donation Campaign so it works better for our parent community.  Our goal is NOT to increase the per family donation amount, but to increase the participation rate going forward.

Win! Fill out the survey before Wednesday May 8th at midnight for your chance to WIN 2 front row concert seats at one concert this spring.

Winner will be notified by e-mail on Thursday morning, which means kindergarten concerts are included!

 

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this important survey!
