Jeremiah School Fundraising Campaign
Fundraising campaign for the Jeremiah School in honor of Autism Awareness Month — April 2026.
- Challenge
- Raise awareness and funds during Autism Awareness Month with no dedicated campaign budget.
- Strategy
- Use a matching-donation hook to inspire community investment in the school's mission, amplifying awareness and support through authentic storytelling.
- Execution
- Conceptualized, planned, and executed the month-long Acceptance in Action: Every Dollar Doubled campaign. Organized and hosted a zero-budget fundraising meal funded entirely by donations, coordinating all logistics from venue setup to event-day operations. Developed a video content strategy for teachers to document monthly activities, then edited and published the footage across social platforms. Cultivated relationships with community members and local businesses to secure donations and drive participation.
- Results
- $61,050 raised in total through matching contributions and a zero-budget fundraising meal.
LessonCommunity relationships can outperform paid media when the story is clear and the ask is matched.
