Ep 207 - The 5 Things Your Crowdfunding Campaign MUST Have

In this Episode, we cover the 5 things that every crowdfunding campaign needs to consider and cover in order to be successful.

Ep 309 - The Problem(s) with Conventional Fundraising

In this episode, we discuss the (many) issues and limitations with conventional fundraising for arts programs.'Conventional Fundraising' could be defined as transactions that begin with "Would you mind buying this overpriced thingy to help my kids' band program?..."I also spend a little time reflecting about my own fundraising experiences as a kid in my high school band program, as well as remember an important mentor that left us this week.NOTE - the car wash in the Episode's image is NOT one of the fundraising tactics that are a part of this issue.
