When your school group completes a fundraising campaign it’s important to take some time to evaluate how it went. Look back at the goals that you set for the campaign and see how your event or program measured up. Here are a few open ended questions that you can put on a survey form and/or use for discussion starters with your committee.

1. Did we meet our fundraising goals?

2. How many students and parents participated?

3. Were we successful in raising participation from students and parents?

4. What aspects of the fundraiser encouraged participation?

5. What aspects of the fundraiser hindered participation?

6. How can we encourage more families to join the fundraiser next time?

7. How much time and effort was needed to put on this fundraiser? Was it “worth it” relative to the dollars that were raised?

8. What unexpected challenges did we face with this fundraiser and how did we deal with them?

9. What suggestions or feedback did we get from parents during the campaign?

10. How can we improve our fundraiser next time so that it’s even more successful?
