Financial Development

Objective:
The Plymouth Education Foundation will endeavor to support Plymouth Educational Center’s strategic goals and objectives. This will enable Plymouth Educational Center to operate from a diverse financial base of consistent financial contribution levels from its constituents and alumni, annual fund raising events, corporate and foundation gifts or grants, solicitation of gifts and testamentary bequests, and capital campaigns.

Actions:
The Foundation will develop and implement an Annual Appeal. The proceeds from the Annual Appeal will be dedicated to the specific needs prioritized by the Foundation for the School.

The Foundation will research and implement a plan to retain an experienced grant writer to solicit and obtain grants and other funds for the direct benefit of the School. The grant writer will be responsible for identifying grants in the interest of the School, applying for such grants, and shepherding the grant applications.

The Foundation will develop and implement a plan to encourage individuals and businesses to designate the Foundation as a beneficiary for gifts and testamentary bequests.

The Foundation will research and develop a plan for funding an Executive Director position.

The Executive Director will report directly to the Foundation and implement fundraising campaigns consistent with the goals and objectives of this Strategic Plan.
