Business Fundraising Policy

Woodward Academy Business Fundraising Policy - January 2010

Woodward Academy has developed in recent years a very comprehensive and professional approach to educational fundraising involving direct mail, phonathons and personal visits.  Many of the efforts of the Advancement team also involve volunteer alumni and parents.

Because of the complex and overlapping efforts to meet Board of Governor and senior staff set goals for operating, endowment and capital priorities, the school does not participate in fundraising programs with businesses, alumni, parents, faculty or staff that promise a percentage of sales back to the school offering services not integral to the school.  This is also consistent and in accordance with the school’s policy of not using the school directory for any business purposes, personal or corporate other than for programs integral to the school programs.
