30 FUNDRAISING SUCCESS STORIES www.ChildCareExchange.com EXCHANGE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2015

Exchange invited readers to share their fundraising success stories and received a wide variety of innovative responses. If you would like to add your success story, please follow the instructions at the end of this article.

Summer Sips and Strokes

Our event was a Paint and Wine Party with silent auction. We hired a paint and sip studio artist to provide instructions to attendees about painting while tasting different wines provided by One Hope Wines. We cleared more than $3,600 for our first fundraiser. Organizing points:

■ Be strategic about the size; sometimes small is best. We sold out at 48 people.

■ Silent auction — plan ahead. MANY big corporations plan to give away items for auctions, but you need to allow at least 6 to 8 weeks to apply.

■ Events give people an opportunity to donate instead of attending. Even if you know people can’t attend, invite them and give them a link to donate ‘in lieu of attending.’

Samantha Marshall Moorpark, California

Art Auction

Each fall the teachers save the children’s artwork. We put a number on each piece and display it outside the classrooms for a week. We put auction bid slips in various places as well as boxes for the slips; we raise about $500 with no cost to us, since the children would be creating art anyway. The pieces go to the highest bidder. We correlate it with our lunch buddies, where each child invites someone to have lunch with them, so we have more grandparents visiting as well as aunts and uncles, instead of just parents.

Diane Hendrick Youngwood, Pennsylvania

Fish Wish Annual Fundraising Campaign

Three years ago, we switched from a fundraising model centered on an annual auction to a direct-ask fundraising campaign that encour-ages parents to identify what they value about the education their child receives at our school, and to share this with other parents, extended family members, friends, and through their community connections. Parents are invited to couple this storytelling with

a request for individuals to join them in supporting the school with a finan-cial contribution. Last year we raised $90,000, with 91% of families making a contribution, and we decreased our fundraising overhead from 30% to 4%. By utilizing a volunteer team of parents, board members, and educators, we freed up administrative resources, while simultaneously enlisting powerful fund-raising supporters.

Joel Metschke Seattle, Washington

Karm’l Apple Fundraiser

Every October around Halloween, the center (parents and staff) sell caramel apples to fundraise for a particular goal, such as paying for a field trip. We make an average of $1,000. Organizing points:

■ Send out all fundraising information and material at the beginning of the month.

■ Be clear on the goal and how that is going to benefit their child

■ Send a weekly reminder, and be enthusiastic about it!

22 WORKPLACE BEHAVIORS

www.ChildCareExchange.com

EXCHANGE MARCH/APRIL 2016

In networking with other directors of child care facilities in the healthcare industry, I learned that bullying behav-iors among staff were not uncommon. I was troubled by this phenomenon of peer-on-peer workplace bullying, or what I learned was called ‘lateral violence.’ Recognizing the need to address this behavior, I presented a webinar to directors in my professional network on the manifestations of lateral violence, the reasons for and costs of lateral violence, and strategies for

eliminating lateral violence and building a great place to work.

According to Pontus and Scherrer (2011),“Workplace bullying is characterized by many incidents of unjustifiable actions of an individual or group toward a person or group over a long period. Bullying behaviors are persistent, offen-sive, abusive, threatening, and malicious in nature with the intent to do harm. The person who bullies may be in a position of power (actual or perceived).”

The many manifestations of lateral violence include:

■ refusing to mentor and guide new staff in their practice.

■ refusing to help others in need of assistance.

■ intimidating with threats of disci-plinary procedures.

■ writing critical and abusive letters or notes.

■ belittling gestures like rolling of eyes, folded arms, staring straight ahead or ‘through’ when communication is attempted, using hand gestures to ward off conversation.

■ backstabbing, scapegoating, fault finding.

■ inflammatory angry outbursts.
