In this Episode, we cover the 5 things that every crowdfunding campaign needs to consider and cover in order to be successful.In this episode, we reference our recent published report called "The $10,000 Blueprint" - which is a methodology built to allow a performing ensemble of just about any size to generate $10K in crowdfunded donations.Again, your mileage may vary as campaign success is highly dependent on several factors.Here is the link to the report - it's a free download.

In this episode, I enlisted the help of Lauren Gilbert, 8th grade band member of her High School marching band, to discuss the student-perspective of fundraising. She confirms what I already thought to be true - fundraising is often not completely emphasized by the teaching faculty or band staff, and it can often fall by the wayside. It's not for a lack of trying or effort - in fact our own band program does a fantastic job of keeping parents informed.The students look at things differently, and Lauren helps shine a light on that.
