New Pennfield Fundraising Record - 100% Participation
The Pennfield School's fundraising campaign achieved 100% parent participation in less than one month.
After just one month, The Pennfield School announced an unprecedented 100% participation from the school’s parents for its annual fund campaign, “Investing in What Matters”. Although all independent schools aim for this level of support, the national independent school average for annual fund parent participation is just 79%.
The Pennfield School's “Investing in What Matters” campaign began on October 6, 2017 with a participation incentive. If 100% parent participation was achieved by October 31,2017 an anonymous donor would provide an additional $25,000 to the school. The challenge was met, and in just 25 days every Pennfield family made a donation.
"In schools, 100% participation in an annual fund campaign is rare, to say the least, but to do it in less than a month is incredible! The way our families work together in support of the Pennfield mission to instill joy, understanding and respect in the lives of children is truly heartwarming," said Rob Kelley, Head of School.
