HUMAN RESOURCES SERVICES
School districts continue to struggle to meet their financial obligations. The state budget cuts have been so drastic that many school districts are seeking new ways to secure funding at the local level. We have seen an increase in the number of districts considering general obligation bonds, parcel taxes, corporate sponsorship programs and other fundraising mechanisms as ways to augment school district budgets. Districts have been cut to the core and are faced with closing many critical programs. The need to look outside for financial resources has never been greater.
AR Strategic Solutions (ARSS) creates highly structured public relations, media and corporate sponsorship program for school districts. The programs focus on seeking funding through various venues including fundraising opportunities, media marketing campaigns to make school districts the ideal organizations to invest with, and corporate sponsorship programs that allow companies to market their business while investing in the education of our students.
◊ Website Design: ARSS designs websites that promote and give presence and validity to the corporate sponsorship programs. The websites are designed with the target audience in mind an allow school districts to reach a broad audience through a powerful message, with rich compelling content about sponsorship opportunities. In addition, websites provide a mechanism for individuals to make contributions online. ARSS maintains websites with updates, pictures and new information as it becomes available.
◊ Fundraising Marketing Campaigns
ARSS can develop fundraising events to include event planning, communication plans, event promotion and identification of potential donors. Fundraisers will target community businesses, corporations and other stakeholders of the school districts.
