Elective Session
Lean into equity while raising more money from more people. Sound impossible? Join us and learn how Thacher School ditched its auction in 2020 and never looked back. It raised 2x the revenue from 5x the constituents, engaging parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, and friends. Even in a post-pandemic world, this innovative model has continued to work for Thacher. During this session, regardless of the technology used, you will receive the strategies and confidence to rethink traditional fundraising events, and ensure institutional sustainability. This is your chance to strengthen philanthropy while building community.
