Fundraising committee goes to the cloud with Podio
Like many primary schools, Carlton North Primary School have been running an annual fete for over 20 years. It is a major fundraiser that requires a huge contribution of time from the enthusiastic parent community. In the past, communication for this 50+ strong committee was done via email and a series of long committee meetings. Every year, an enormous amount of knowledge was lost as the parent community transitioned through the school.
Podio was the solution.
“Podio became the online manual for how to run the school fete. It holds timelines, history and notes in one place, making volunteer transition so much easier from one year to the next. Committee engagement was much higher as the tool allowed for collaboration and communication in an easy-to-use app from your phone. It was a massive time saver for everyone involved and gave the school full transparency of the efforts across the community and accountability for funds raised and expenditure.” Angela Harbinson, parent and member of the Community & Fundraising Committee + Podio Consultant
