MMR: School Foundation Services
Public school foundations have been shown to produce a major impact on the programs and activities they support.
MMR will assist you in setting up your foundation, make available the legal resources to formalize your organization and provide instruction on the legal requirements of accepting and distributing funds. MMR can help your school identify opportunities for obtaining and growing a revenue base. We will provide your foundation board with effective communication strategies that best address the needs of your school and community. We will also advise your new or existing foundation on the best techniques and tools for developing, tracking, retaining and growing a significant donor base.
A Successful School Foundation will:
• Communicate Clear Mission and Goals
• Have a Committed Leadership
• Attract and Retain a Donor Base
• Identify Ways to Recognize Groups and Individuals for Giving
Developing a successful Charitable 501(c)(3) Foundation is a time consuming process. MMR will assist you with the services of a development consultant to set up your Educational Foundation, organize an initial fundraising event, and train the Foundation Board and community volunteers on how to create and manage a sustainable development effort.
