Session Description: Seoul Foreign School (SFS) celebrates its 16th year of the Annual Giving program, marking significant progress in building a philanthropic culture. After overcoming early challenges, the school focused on community engagement, launching initiatives like parent challenges, giving weeks, and annual campaigns. These efforts led to significant increases in donations and participation. This session will explore SFS’s strategies, successes, and lessons learned, inviting other institutions to share their experiences and ideas in building impactful giving communities.

In this session, I would like to share some of the strategies used, successes and lessons learnt during our philanthropic journey and open the discussion to other educational institutions sharing similar experiences, new ideas and approaches.
