Development Staff PLC Recap/Next Meeting Poll

[Greg Ellis]

Hi everybody,

Meeting Recap

We just had our first Development Staff PLC with six garden fundraisers in attendance.  Besides introductions, we laid out some major topics we're interested in exploring during future meetings.  Please see our minutes here.  In short:

• Folks are curious how to make shifts that aren’t too drastic but that meet the needs of diverse funding streams
• Corporate and individual giving how-to (we have some people who are familiar with both sides)
• District funding (how to get steady, sustainable funding streams)
  

Poll for Next Meeting!

We're planning to continue meeting during the summer as it may be a more spacious season for those of us who wear multiple hats and teach during the school year.  Please fill out this poll with your availability (select all possible dates/times and we will accommodate as many as we can).

Wait, what is the Development Staff PLC?

This Peer Learning Community is meant for any and all development-related staff: EDs, grant writers, fundraisers, and other team members involved in bringing money to the school garden movement. We provide a supportive and informative space to share challenges, troubleshoot, learn new approaches and opportunities related to grants, fundraising campaigns, fee-for-service programming, funding partnerships, sponsorships, and more.

If you're interested in joining us in the future, please fill out this form and we'll send you more details and a meeting invite: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLJ3X-S-nV_g00Lbhx9T8qZlVJMxLv_gMwMmMSCnTBsJauEA/viewform 

See you all soon!
