Diverse: Issues in Higher Education

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023

For over 20 years, I have been an avid reader of the Giving USA Report on Philanthropic Giving, an annual report on fundraising in America produced by the Indiana University Lily Family School of Philanthropy. Each June, I eagerly await its release and subsequently use it to direct my fundraising strategy for the ensuing year.

Student fundraiser project opportunities! Spring is a great time of year to fundraise because we're in the final stretch of the school year. ​And what better way to do all of that than with student-led fundraiser projects? As an experiential educator, I love to have my students host and run their own community fundraisers.

A student of mine approached me after the activity expressing her interest in the topic. What is Self-Directed Learning? Several years ago I showed a news segment to my advisory/PBL students about the Syrian refugee crisis to help spark current events project ideas.

Share Your Life: Many of my students' projects have launched because of a story of mine or a project that I myself had going on at home. My PBL students learned about the issue and decided to organize a fundraiser to raise money for refugee aid. I have my advisory do one large group project every quarter.

My students took their skateboard clothing brand business plan from the first part of this senior experience (career PBL) and brought it to fruition, turning it into a fundraiser for urban teens. This might be possible for parents that are homeschooling teens or those educators that work in a school like mine.

Presidents are also more involved in fundraising than ever, complicating their leadership roles. Mine turned out to be mathematics. Fundraising has also become such a central part of the president’s role. It was, therefore, very natural for me to pursue a career in higher education. His discipline was history.

My high school advisory students started an annual holiday pie fundraiser many years ago, and part of the planning process was creating the BEST pie to sell. I don't know about your students, but most of mine love to cook or bake. I used this recipe for the roll cake. What gives it its shape? How is chocolate made?
