The Pledge Fund is a new fundraising model for K-12 schools that focuses on promoting and rewarding student achievement rather than traditional product sales. It aims to generate more donations by motivating students to achieve greater academic, athletic, or other successes. Schools implement the program by distributing pledge cards and collecting statistics, while The Pledge Fund handles invoicing, collection, accounting, and distribution of 70% of funds raised. This eliminates the effort of purchasing, selling, and distributing products, as well as collecting and handling money, providing a higher-profit alternative to traditional fundraising.

The goal was to enhance existing donor relationships and increase donation amount for SickKids Foundation. The strategy was to create an emotional connection with donors by sending donors children's handmade art. We believe that physical presence and emotional connection help strengthen donor relationships and therefore increase donation amount.

Visualizacion de la Infomación. De los datos al conocimiento.Ignasi Alcalde
La visualización de la información es un disciplina realmente fascinante cuyo interés no ha hecho más que despegar. Si por ejemplo buscamos infographics o data visualization en internet podremos comprobar que el interés crece día a día. Mires donde mires hay información visual que reclama tu atención. La comunicación efectiva e inmediata a través de una simple y fácil visualización prima frente a largos textos de compleja asimilación. Pero… ¿Qué es realmente la visualización de la información? En tus manos tienes una obra práctica que te ayudará a introducirte en la visualización de la información, el proceso de trabajo con datos y las herramientas más comunes.

2014 Diocese of Allentown: A Success StoryJim Friend
The Diocese of Allentown was the only Catholic School system in the Northeast to grow Elementary School Enrollment in the 2012-2013 Academic year. In the 2013-2014 school year our system grew again. This presentation will be made at the National Catholic Education Association Convention in April 2014. More materials can be downloaded at: http://www.allentowndiocese.org/index.php?cID=1345
Higher education has faced steady declines in alumni participation percentages over the last several decades. While crowdfunding has transformed the philanthropic landscape, many wonder if it is just a passing trend. Attendees will learn how UMBC's annual giving program is using crowdfunding as an alternate way of engaging students with the process of fundraising - moving beyond one-time project campaigns to engage prospective donors and achieve sustained donor engagement.

2. ALL Schools, PTA’s, Boosters, Alumni Clubs and associations turn to
fundraising to support their athletic, music or other school programs.
Traditional fundraising efforts consist of time consuming events such as
bake sales and car washes. Other efforts of product sales such as candy &
cookie dough promote obesity and poor nutrition.
Students, parents, teachers, administrators and
other volunteers must become salespeople to sell
the products, delivery people to distribute the
product and financial managers to collect the
funds, pay the vendors and distribute the low
percentage of profit for the massive team effort.
At The Pledge Fund, we know that individual
donations are done in the spirit of giving, helping,
and supporting a good cause to enhance the
educational experience. Greater donations can
be achieved, not by selling product, but rather by
Promoting & Rewarding Student Achievements
and Success. By providing motivation for the
students to aim higher and achieve greater, the
students support network responds with greater
donations through a “community” involvement.
Whether it is based on academic, athletic, music or
other school program achievements, The Pledge Fund is the most powerful
and easiest Fundraising Program to implement.
