12 Fundraising Charter School programs often require more financial support than what is provided by state and federal funds, so how do you close that gap? Development and fundraising can be daunting tasks, but both are vital to any organization’s overall success and bottom line. Cultivating community relationships, engaging students and parents in the cause, and generating donations in a fun and meaningful way will give your Development Plan a good foundation. Spectrum Academy, a charter school for students with high-functioning autism, uses a variety of methods to bridge the financial gap and provide the unique educational programs and tools necessary to fulfill its mission.
