MOMENTUM Mulgrave’s Annual Fund
2022 • 2023 DONOR & GIVING REPORT
Philanthropy Highlights Our culture of philanthropy is imbued with everything we do; the dedication of our engaged families is evident everywhere at Mulgrave. From teacher retention to enhancing curriculum, philanthropy is the engine that enables our students to reach for the stars. As we reflect on the past year, we are incredibly grateful for those who have expressed their commitment to Mulgrave through their time, talent, and resources. Highlights of successfully completed projects in 2022-23 include: SOLE Centre Swimming Pool The indoor swimming pool at our SOLE Centre in Squamish is now fully operational. In addition to the many other activities available onsite, the pool is a great way for students to develop fun and healthy exercise habits. Virtual Reality Learning We obtained a class set of VR headsets for our Junior School which has already been used in a variety of contexts. Craig Frehlich, our Learning Technology Integrationist, has even created a VR learning experience for some French classes (from scratch!).

Junior School Extended Math Programme Grade 1 to 5 students will have a full set of enriched course materials for the Math Beasts Academy programme for the 2023-2024 school year. Students who have shown a mastery of grade-level math concepts can further develop their knowledge and capabilities. Upcoming Project Supported by 2022-23 Fundraising One significant upcoming project that will take place in summer of 2024 is the upgrade of our HVAC system. Our original system was outfitted in 2001 and with heat issues that primarily affect the Junior School classrooms in hot weather, we are currently exploring ways to reduce classroom temperatures to levels that are most comfortable and conducive to learning. This project is part of our response to climate change and we thank our generous donors for enabling us to complete this initiative.
A Message on Behalf of the Donor Engagement Team Dear Mulgrave Community, There is a saying that a rising tide lifts all boats. I believe this statement holds true of philanthropy at Mulgrave: we all benefit when we work collectively to achieve the common goal of supporting our students and faculty. Through community engagement and giving, you set the example for our students as they learn to become leaders and changemakers. This notion of uniting for a common cause is also evident in the way many of you support Mulgrave’s Financial Assistance Programme with enthusiasm and empathy. Students who are carefully selected to be a part of our community through this programme enrich our community in countless ways and it is heartwarming to have
so many families collectively support their pursuit of personal best. They are not only students of Mulgrave - they are also your children’s study partners, mentors, teammates, close friends, and confidantes. It’s clear that a diverse student body benefits each and every one of us, while also helping to build Mulgrave’s reputation as an exceptional place to learn and be. In the following pages, you will see how families, staff, alumni, alumni families, and volunteers have all made an incredible difference at Mulgrave over the past year. Thank you - the ‘tide’ of your generosity continues to lift us all. With sincere gratitude, Jin Ling Bai (she/her) Director of Donor Engagement

Donors have funded:
“We want to continue to build on the opportunities at Mulgrave created by the parents that came before us, and to share those opportunities with a diverse student body. This is a place that is so dedicated to helping each child learn to realise their full potential in life and make them confident to pursue their purpose and passion. Through our donation, we hope that more potential students with shared educational values are able to experience Mulgrave and contribute to the richness of the student and parent community.”

In May 2023, more than 400 guests gathered at the Westin Bayshore for our Best of Prom Gala. The ‘80s-themed celebration was an opportunity for attendees to celebrate our Mulgrave community and contribute to a great cause: the school’s Financial Assistance Programme.
The Gala also provided the perfect opportunity to announce that all proceeds raised in 2022-2023 for the Financial Assistance Programme would be directed to the John A. Wray Legacy Fund. This fund, in honour of our dedicated outgoing Head of School, will enable deserving students to join Mulgrave regardless of financial circumstance.
Throughout the evening, student performers, including the Stage Band, Middle School Rock Band, and K-Pop Dancers, shared their talents. With exciting live and silent auctions, a fundraising drive, games, and raffles plus ticket sales, we raised $615,925 net.
Many thanks to our sponsors for their generosity, our gala co-chairs (Natasha Bak, Echo Wu, and Elnaz Ghandchi) for their months of tireless planning, our volunteers for their hard work, and our community members for their contributions.
