23 23 Situation Overview For the 2010/2011 school year, Friends of Mayer was asked to give $130,000 to fund teaching positions We believe we got very lucky this year and that due to severe budget cuts, the need will intensify in 2011/2012. While we don’t know the amount Friends of Mayer will be asked to fund, the amount needed could run in excess of $150,000 and could realistically near $200,000.

24 24 Solution: Pledge Drive Schools in our peer group are using Pledge Drives to fill gaps Alcott (goal of $220,000, raised over $170,00 last year) Nettelhorst Burley Drummond (individual/family recognition levels from $250 to $2,000) Hawthorne Bell Lincoln (phonathon) Disney II Blaine

25 25 Specifics of Appeal Requested amount: $1,200 per student An increase from the $1,000 per student requested last year Focus on $100/month Though focusing on this amount, will also mention 100% participation in all appeals Final appeal: 100% participation, $1 counts as participation

26 26 Making Pledges Pledge commitment is needed by October 15, 2010 and payment in full before June 15, 2011 1) Donate on-line (either in one donation of an amount that you select or convenient monthly installments--you choose the number of months and the amount per month); 2) Pledge now and pay later this school year at a more convenient time; 3) Pledge and pay now by bringing your donation to the school office.

27 27 Question: Why did Friends of Mayer decide to increase the suggested donation to $1,200 per student? Answer: The Oscar Mayer community consists of a great mix of families that span the social/economic spectrum. After analyzing last year’s pledge drive giving patterns, the suggested donation of $1,200 per student will help cover the funding gaps in Oscar Mayer’s annual budget. People will be encouraged to give the right amount for their family, whether it is more or less than the suggested amount; however, we do hope for 100% participation no matter the amount families are able to give. $1,200 per student seems more manageable when emphasized as $100 per month Overall goal increased to $125,000

28 28 Question: How do the Pledge Drive and spring Walkathon work in harmony with one another? Answer: Our feeling is that the Pledge Drive is asking families of attending students to directly donate to support the school; the Walkathon allows our kids to have an event in which they can play an active role (and as well provide extended family, friends, and neighborhood businesses the chance to support the school).
