Magnolia Fundraising

About

We firmly believe that every child deserves an outstanding school experience, which begins with securing the necessary funds for curriculum, supplies, and, in some cases, additional staff. In an era of continuous cuts to school funding, fundraising has never been more crucial.

Our core belief is that school fundraising should be simplified and less time-consuming. Educational institutions across the nation require essential funds for their curriculum, yet fundraising often appears as a complex and daunting task. Despite the numerous methods available for school fundraising, the initial steps can be challenging. Whether you opt for a passive fundraising partnership, a more proactive collaboration, or large-scale events like auctions, we've already done the heavy lifting for you.

We've extensively researched both passive and active fundraising programs on the internet and compiled a comprehensive list. This way, you can easily choose the program that best suits your school's needs.

Additionally, we've assembled a guideline on how to conduct a successful auction, complete with an Auction Resource Packet. If you decide to go the auction route, you'll have all the necessary resources to guide you and your team throughout the process.

Meet the Founder: Lauren Lozano

Hi there! I'm Lauren Lozano, founder of Magnolia Fundraising. My journey into fundraising began unexpectedly, driven by the urgent needs of my children's cooperative preschool during the pandemic. Together with a committed group of parents and teachers, we reimagined our fundraising efforts. We explored various programs and decided to host events, including a successful auction that raised over $50,000.

Despite my initial concerns about organizing an auction without prior experience, we persevered through research and hard work. Our success inspired me to share our insights with everyone, realizing the value of supporting schools and fundraising volunteers nationwide. Every child deserves a quality education, and fundraising can make a significant impact. You should not have to reinvent the wheel or spend hours researching in order to raise funds for your school. I want to make fundraising more accessible and effective together.

I hope these resources help streamline your efforts and bring vital support to your school. Thank you for your dedication to your community. Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts!

Warmly, Lauren
