Podcast interview of others who found success

In this podcast, Ayesha tells us how the Alta Football Team crushed their goals in just one evening for her telethon. While a telethon is a variation on crowdfunding, this example still provides great insights into how to successfully plan, manage, and wrap up a crowdfunding campaign.

Some of the best ideas we've seen

Identify a Need: Determine a specific need at the school not covered by the budget (technology, facility upgrade, etc).
Set a Goal: Calculate necessary funds tied to the identified cause so donors understand use of funds.
Download SuccessFund Flyers for Students to Share: Mockups showing fund use grabs attention on social media, driving traffic.
Recruit Student Ambassadors: Leverage student leaders across academics, arts, athletics to spread awareness.
Offer School Swag: For donation levels, provide school gear, reserved parking, banners to incentivize stakeholders.
Send Emails: Well-crafted emails from admin to faculty, staff, parents, alumni drive participation.
Post Video Messages: Short, energetic videos inspire giving by highlighting needs and impact.
Provide Updates, IRL & Virtual: Show real-time progress towards monetary goals across digital channels to maintain momentum. Create a live visual that tracks progress and display in the main area of school.
Give Thanks: Thank all donors, volunteers and school community for efforts with videos, signs and celebration.
