11. Tax Receipts are a great incentive for donors. Approval from Secretary Treasurer is required. Ideal for targeted asks (e.g. Library books, computers, playground upgrade). Some restrictions apply (e.g. Funds cannot be used for field trips or general revenues). Popular with parents that are unable to attend evening events or volunteer at the school

12. Naming Programs are increasingly in demand and are currently under review by the School Board. Gifts/Sponsors fall under SD45 Admin Procedures #527 The District will permit corporate and other sponsorships and gifts where these have demonstrable educational value and where the primary purpose of the donation is not the promotion of private enterprise and profit. Principal and Secretary Treasurer will determine: the educational value of the gift the monetary value of the gift Any promotion or advertisement of the gift must be in good taste and discreet

13. Ask your fellow school PACs for their electronic files on a successful initiative. Copy their creative and save time. Dont Forget to Acknowledge your Volunteers Volunteer of the Month Signage on the bulletin board and PAC Website Give flowers at a PAC Meeting or school event Consider special rewards for volunteers who take on big roles (e.g. School Supplies Coordinator gets 1 free set of supplies for their child) Communication is Key Multiple channels are needed to get parents attention. (Posters & Emails & Website) Draw attention with special promotions (e.g. Early bird rates) Trying a new idea? That is great, be sure to… Know your school culture and what will appeal to your parents WVSD Guidelines and Policy (Consult Principal)
