254: The Head as Asker In Chief – Interview with Alan Jones

School Marketing Journal with Brad Entwistle and Alan Jones

In this interview episode, Brad is joined by Alan Jones, Principal of Christ Church Grammar School in Claremont, Western Australia. Together they examine why the Head is central to school philanthropy. Alan explains that the ask only becomes possible after trust has been built and the educational purpose is clear. He describes fundraising as a long-term relationship, strengthened when donors understand the difference their support can make and feel part of the school’s direction. He also explains why Heads must thank donors personally, steward relationships carefully and show what their generosity has achieved.
