#13 | The Hidden Hurdles: Why School Fundraising Is Harder Than It Looks

In this episode of Contagious Culture, we dig into the often overlooked and misunderstood world of school fundraising. Whether you're a school leader, board member, parent, or community partner, raising money for schools isn't just about bake sales and donor letters, it’s about trust, strategy, equity, and alignment with the school’s mission.

Kyle King explores the real reasons why fundraising is so difficult in K–12 education, including inconsistent messaging, community fatigue, lack of infrastructure, and the struggle to engage donors around meaningful impact. Tune in to hear actionable strategies, real stories, and a fresh take on how we can move from reactive fundraising to building long-term, sustainable culture-driven support.
