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!

Jennifer Perrow, CFRE: Fundraising strategies for church + school ministries
Fundraising can be complicated when a school and a church are intertwined. The church + school combo often means you have two communities under “one roof.” Church members/families and school families might overlap but that doesn’t guarantee everyone will be on the same page when it comes to vision or fundraising for that vision.
My guest this week is Jennifer Perrow, CFRE, a Senior Generosity Strategist at Generis whose long list of skills and experience includes fundraising within the niche of church + school campaigns. Based in Seattle, Jennifer is an experienced coach and consultant to faith-based organizations across the US, helping ministries articulate vision, communicate mission, and raise abundant funds to advance Kingdom priorities.
In this episode, we discuss:
The purpose of an Annual Fund for a school that’s within a church and its role in overall Capital Campaign Readiness for the entire organization
What we see as the ingredients to success in a church + school fundraising campaign (annual fund and/or capital campaign)
How and when to communicate with the two different sets of families (church and schools)
A way to organize how you run a combined church + school campaign
What a comprehensive campaign is, and how it can work within the context of a church + school campaign to raise more money for both budgets
What to do when you’re a church or school leader whose facing a very full (even overwhelming) task list and need to raise money
At the end of the episode, I revisit two items from our conversation, offering you practical applications to enhance your everyday work in development. Let me know what you find most helpful by leaving me a review and rating my podcast!
