Saddle River Day School changed the philanthropic culture of its school by pivoting away from traditional fundraising strategies. By creating and promoting innovative enhancements to the academic experience, SRDS has redefined why people give to the school. This shift in strategy has resulted in current giving levels that are 40 times higher than any other time in the school’s history. Join us as we discuss the programs, initiatives and marketing strategies that make a difference when asking our constituents to support us beyond tuition.
