This week we welcome Mike Bahun, founder and CEO of Fundraising University. His journey into fundraising and franchising began as a high school coach, igniting his passion for enhancing resources for schools in need. Mike shares his vision to revolutionize fundraising through a service-based model that prioritizes the needs of students, teachers, and coaches. Discover how he shifted traditional fundraising approaches towards effective digital solutions, providing schools with the means to raise funds efficiently.
The episode also examines how the pandemic reshaped their franchise model. With a focus on adaptability and strong operational frameworks, Mike reveals how they transitioned from an owner-operator to a semi-absentee model while retaining strong community ties.
Join us as we explore how Mike's innovative strategies not only alleviate the burden on coaches but also ensure significant funds for underfunded organizations.
