Fundraising Gen Z Style - It Sure Aint What It Used To Be! Fundraising is tough business. No two ways about it. For many families funds are tight and when they give to us for holidays and birthdays it is a stretch of their own personal budget to give again when we ask them to support a fundraiser. When our kiddos reach 11-12 and the expenses for travel sports and equipment can run into the thousands per year, talk to your player and ask them if they are on board with having gifts be funds put into an account that you can draw from for their sport. If theyre on board, everyone truly comes out ahead - no one has to pound their head trying to come up with a gift, you have additional support and you dont have to go knocking on the door of family for those fundraisers you do (unless they tell you they want to participate in a specific type). I know youre still stuck at Gen Z. (You knew wed answer it for you, too!) Generation Z Born: 1995-2012 Coming of Age: 2013-2020 Age in 2004: 0-9 Current Population: 23 million and growing rapidly While we don’t know much about Gen Z yet...we know a lot about the environment they are growing up in. They are a highly diverse environment who use higher levels of technology making significant inroads in academics. (Think all those STEM Schools and curriculum you see popping up.) Gen Z kids are growing up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and will be more Internet savvy and expert than we can imagine - they Tweet, Snap chat and have a language all their own. Arent you glad they are involved in this amazing game we all love to keep them grounded?
