Some days in a K12 school you’re in the zone, executing on a fabulous fundraising strategy or finally getting that donor meeting. But many days can be a challenge. When you’re struggling, have a question or need a little guidance, don’t you wish you had a coach to check in with? Let the Your K12 Fundraising Coach podcast be that guide. It was created to fill the gap of easily accessible resources devoted specifically to the challenges YOU face as a K12 fundraiser, especially in a faith-based institution. Your host is Kim Jennings, a Certified Fund Raising Executive and 18+ year fundraising veteran, a full-time coach, trainer, and consultant, and a member of team at Generis. After nearly 20 years in fundraising, with more than a decade in faith-based K12 schools, Kim learned (and continues to learn! ) a lot from her failures and successes in this unique environment. Now she shares those experiences with her 1:1 clients and at trainings across the US. Here’s what one K12 Christian school Director of Development said after attending a session: “Kim was engaging and full of information. She helped guide your thinking on giving and what may work at your school. She never said you have to do something but suggested it or said do whatever works for your community. I really enjoyed it!”
Every podcast episode is crafted as a mini-masterclass, designed to give you actionable tips and strategies to help you get great results now and in the long-run through building a culture of generosity. And always, Kim and her guests share their experiences through the lens of healthy culture. Our goal is success! But as K12 leaders facing the tyranny of the urgent, we need to start reaching that goal in ways that feed our souls instead of drain us. Tune in for your weekly boost of encouragement and fundraising coaching!

Four Steps to Building a Culture of Generosity, Step 1
You’re not raising as much as you could be if you haven’t “normalized” talking about money and the importance of giving generously in your school. Intentionally building a culture that places a high value on generously giving time and resources is the key to raising more money.
Yet, defining and clearly describing a Culture of Generosity is rarely discussed. Even more rarely described: EXACTLY HOW TO BUILD ONE. Until now. This is the first of a four part series on exactly how you can go about building a Culture of Generosity in your K12 school.
