The Scioto Foundation, located in the heart of Appalachian Ohio, decided to work through a corps of volunteers in the 11 school districts in Scioto County to raise funds for scholarships for graduates of local high schools. Benefactor Group was asked to conduct a feasibility study to determine the likely success of a fundraising and endowment campaign for scholarships and to help Foundation leaders design a fundraising plan. In addition, Benefactor continues to provide on-going fundraising training for teams of five to six individuals from each school district.
