Imagine that all schools in your region have been asked to raise money to set up ICTs. Each school has been asked to give a detailed plan of what it is going to do in order to raise the necessary funds.

As a principal and/or Senior Management Team member you need to write a brief, but specific fundraising plan which outlines how your school is going to raise the necessary funds for its ICT-specific goals.

These readings may be useful:

Complete this motivating stakeholders plan in which you:

List of all the stakeholders who might help raise money for ICT usage at the school;
Suggest ideas for motivating each stakeholder group that is identified.
Explain why you think that this particular fundraising strategy will work well with the identified stakeholder group.

Save these ideas in a document called Fundraising plan.
