Protect Your Program
Swimming & Diving has been battling program terminations for years now. Learning how to fundraise will not only empower you to execute your program vision, it will also proactively protect your program from the budget cuts. We encourage you to participate in our CoachRaise curriculum! NOTE: All CoachRaise video content is included in the cost of membership for all CSCAA Coaches. And, if you can’t make it to the live zoom meeting we will make sure to post all recordings to this page.

They say winning is about preparing to win. Well, raising dollars is about preparing to raise. This session focuses on the five things Coaching Staffs and Administrators can do to set-up a successful fundraising plan in 2023, including topics like (1) Major Gifts; (2) Alumni/alumnae Engagement; (3) Athletics Giving Day; (4) Giving Tuesday; (5) Working effectively within your Athletic Department.

About CoachRaise
CoachRaise is a Fundraising Education platform for college athletics coaches and administrators. CoachRaise teaches a Major Gifts approach to fundraising while working effectively within your department. CoachRaise Workshops were born from the experience gained in building philanthropic dollars to support Collegiate Men's Volleyball. They realized that coaches were eager to raise money, but often lacked the tools and techniques to land the high-value donors that could boost their program for years.
