Fundraising Request Form

 1. Purpose

The Purpose of this policy is to provide a philosophical framework regarding fundraising in the Lakeview Public Schools.  In addition, the policy outlines protocol that must be followed in order to have fundraising initiatives approved prior to implementation.  Finally, the policy enumerates procedures that must be followed regarding carrying out fundraising events.

2. Philosophical Framework

Fundraising has become a necessary part of school operations due to the fact that insufficient funds are available to fund student activities at appropriate levels.  In addition, fundraising is needed in order to provide the enhancements and “extras” that are deemed worthy for students as a supplement to the general school program.  Because the district is sensitive to the public reaction to fundraising, these fundraising initiatives must be carefully planned, designed, and carried out so that the public is not overburdened.  A dire need for the fundraiser must be clearly defined.

3. Fundraising Protocol

Individuals coordinating a fundraising activity must complete the Fundraising Request Form in order to gain administrative approval prior to beginning the event.  The approved protocol is outlined on the request form which elicits information about the event and what the funds raised will be used for.  Coordinators of fundraising events must consider the impact that their fundraiser will have on local businesses and must consider what other funding sources could be garnered to accomplish the goal set for the fundraiser.  The use of general solicitation letters seeking funding, without other clarifying activities, should be avoided.  If the fundraiser is on school property, please submit a Facility Request on the Lakeview website.  Facilities Scheduler Ver 4 for Lakeview Public Schools
