Creating and Funding Educational Foundations: A Guide for Local School Districts

Book by Muro, James J.

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of the subject of educational foundations. It offers an overview of how schools across the country are currently using private foundations. Using this guide as a blueprint, school districts will be able to create or strengthen an educational foundation capable of raising funds for educational programs, projects, partnerships, and staff development not funded by tax support.

Complete details are included on how to establish, organize and operate an educational foundation, including how to budget, write gift policies, work with volunteers, and prepare essential documents. The fundamentals of fund raising are also discussed, including how to conduct an annual fund drive, obtain money from foundations and corporations, and how to use professional direct mail and telephone techniques to raise money.
