Fundraising Tips From the Experts
Fundraising Tips From the Experts Fundraising in a camp setting is often over thought or even feared. The idea of asking someone for money can be very intimidating for camp pros that haven’t done it before or have the wrong idea of how fundraising works. I often hear, “That won’t work here” or “we don’t have big donors” and of course “I'm just not comfortable asking people for money”. These are normal responses for a camp pro getting started.

CampBrain Academy
In August 2020, we were planning for our first fall without BRAINSTORM in 5 years. While we knew we couldn’t gather in person, we also knew it was more important than ever to find ways to support our clients as they planned for 2021. We also knew we had extra time and resources.
