Summary

  • Corporate Sponsorship is everywhere and for the most part has

become an acceptable part of our society.

  • Education Funds continue to shrink: Educators must turn to the

private sector for additional operating capital (got to do something).

  • Schools need to take a proactive and sensible approach to develop

education partnerships.

  • By inviting partners to participate, schools accomplish two

important goals:

More for their money vs. random donations Schools will have more control over the process vs. donations

that have strings attached. “No one likes to beg for money. However, when it becomes most vital, as it has in our educational system, it is far better to drive the process rather than be dragged along.” Denver Public Schools
