I served the community and parishes of Santa Fe, New Mexico by supporting its Catholic, non-profit elementary school with fundraising activities and admissions. Fundraising activities required extensive coordination among parents, solicitation from sponsors and event planning. Since admissions and fundraising both represented investment in the school, I approached each new enrollment as an incremental contribution to my overall fundraising goal of $250,000. With a 6% increase in admissions above our budgeted enrollment, we operated the school year in the black.
