She gets a written approval from her firm. The school‟s board also approves Czcibor‟s plan and agrees to announce it in their upcoming parent teacher meeting along with sending a newsletter to all the parents and staff. When Czcibor starts getting the school referrals, she clearly discusses the referral arrangement with her new clients and the distribution of her donation to the school.
