PTO-Sponsored Teacher Appreciation Week - Raised $1,000 more than previous year

Zeffy allowed us to easily collect teacher appreciation week donations from families (in previous years we collected via cash or check sent into the school); QR codes, links via e-mail and social media help families easily make a donation

We set up the form to show families exactly what they’d be paying for with their donation (Ex: $5 buys a teacher a coffee from the coffee truck; $10 covers a teacher’s chair massage; $20 pays for a teacher’s catered meal)

We were able to completely fund 5 days of teacher appreciation week via Zeffy donations that reached over $3K (Coffee Truck, Mexican Catered Meal, Spa Day, Dessert & Lemonade, Dip Day)

Something we would repeat next year is asking donors how they would like their name displayed (i.e. The Smith Family, John Smith or Anonymous) - We would make periodic posts on social media with all the recent donors names. This encouraged others to donate so their name could be posted. It also allowed teachers to see who donated. Lastly, it served as a marketing tool because it kept reminding families who hadn’t donated yet.
