Why You Need a Fundraising Coach

Planning a successful fundraising event can be a rewarding and exciting experience, especially with the right support. Whether you’re trying something new, working with a fresh team, or facing a tight budget, having a fundraising coach can make a big difference. At Get Movin’, our fundraising coaches are all former PTO/PTA leaders, teachers, and volunteers.

They’ve been in your shoes and understand the unique challenges you face. With their firsthand experience, these fundraising coaches can provide valuable insights and practical advice to help you navigate the planning process and ensure your event is a success from start to finish.

Working With Your Fundraising Coach

A Personal Event Coach (PEC) can streamline your planning process and ensure your event is a success from start to finish. With their expert knowledge and experience, you’ll learn valuable tips on partnering with your coach and making the most of their guidance.

Fundraising Coaches: Your personal Expert for Event Planning

Your PEC is available via phone, text, or email to help you strategize your budget goals, brainstorm the best incentive options, offer advice on promotions, and steer you away from any fundraising pitfalls to maximize your success.

“I LOVE SEEING THE IMPACT WE HAVE ON SCHOOLS. NOT ONLY IS IT GREAT TO HELP SCHOOLS RAISE MORE MONEY THAN EVER BEFORE AND KEEP THE MAJORITY. IT IS SO REWARDING TO SEE SCHOOL COMMUNITIES COME TOGETHER TO ENJOY A FUN EVENT AND CELEBRATE THEIR EFFORTS.”
~ Becca Tibus, Personal Event Coach

How Your PEC Can Help

Your fundraising coach is there to support you in numerous ways, including:

• Presenting your fundraising ideas to admin and staff: Gain confidence and clarity in presenting your plans.
• Navigating FundHub and leveraging all its features: Master the tools that make fundraising easier and more efficient.
• Recruiting and organizing volunteers for your event: Build a strong team to support your event.
• Maximizing your fundraising efforts: Set incremental goals and ensure you stay on track.
• Engaging parents and teachers: Utilize online tools through FundHub to keep everyone involved and excited.

Staying on Track During Your Fundraiser

One of the main priorities of your PEC is to keep you on track. They understand that if your goal is $50,000, you need to aim for $35,000 by the day of your event. Your PEC knows the donation percentages needed throughout your fundraiser and will strategize with you on the best ways to reach these milestones.

Bursting with Inspiration and Ideas

Personal Event Coaches (PECs) are strategizers, dreamers, and out-of-the-box thinkers. These fundraising coaches can help transform your fundraiser into an event that students look forward to every year. Your fundraising coach can assist with:

• Creative incentive ideas: Make the event fun and motivating.
• Unique fundraising themes: Add a fresh twist to your events.
• Fresh methods to engage teachers, staff, parents, and students: Keep everyone excited and involved.
• Ideas for fundraising kick-off videos and promotional materials: Start your fundraiser with a bang.
• New ways to involve the community and corporate sponsors: Expand your reach and increase donations.

A “No Pressure” Approach to Coaching

Our Personal Event Coaches practice a “no pressure” approach. If you want them to be closely involved with your fundraiser, they are ready to help. Prefer to use their expertise sparingly or only when you need specific answers? That works too. Because our coaches have been in your shoes, they understand that you and your team know your school, students, and community best. They are experts in fundraising, but you and your team are the experts in your school!
