MOMENTUM, MULGRAVE’S ANNUAL FUND

The Momentum Annual Fund is vital to the school’s strategic mission and vision.

While tuition fees provide funds for Mulgrave’s operational costs, our annual fund covers the ‘margin of excellence’ that sets Mulgrave apart and allows us to provide an enriched, personalised education within spaces that are tailored to learning and exploration.

Gifts to Momentum support nearly every area of operations, including educational programmes, teacher professional development, maintenance and improvement of the campus and facilities, and financial assistance for students who would otherwise not be able to access our school. The annual fund also allows Mulgrave the flexibility to take advantage of new opportunities in dynamic and innovative ways.

Each year, every contribution makes a difference. In the 2021-22 school year, Momentum supported 21 student learning areas through the generosity of Mulgrave’s community.

2021 • 2022 GRADE CHALLENGE

The Grade Challenge is a fun way to encourage participation in Momentum. Points are awarded based on participation rates, and our goal is for all families to take part in a way that is accessible and meaningful to them.

Congratulations to our PK3 families for winning the 2021-22 Grade Challenge! Nearly 60% of PK3 families contributed to Momentum. We are grateful to our families for modeling the Mulgrave values of empathy, commitment, and social responsibility to our students from a young age.

The challenge will continue in 20222023 and we look forward to seeing the continued momentum that we will build as a community.

We are happy to be involved in our children’s education, and show our support by investing in Mulgrave’s long-term vision. By donating to the Head’s Priority Fund, we trust that the school will invest in innovative learning practices that will allow our children to develop essential skills they will need in later years and once they graduate from Mulgrave.

We have been happy to see that students are excited to expand their learning with programmes like YELL, and we are grateful that we have staff with the expertise to guide them. We believe that Mulgrave is equipping our children with global values that will greatly benefit them in life, and we believe our gifts can help enrich their educational journey.”

DONORS HAVE FUNDED:

A highlight of a Mulgrave education for us is how the school supports student wellbeing. Ensuring that students have access to diverse learning spaces, such as the SOLE Centre, is one example of how the school blends academics with handson learning practices.

The SOLE Centre is a unique opportunity for students to enjoy the beauty of the region while also having access to practical learning, as well as being able to connect in a relaxed way with their peers and teachers. By supporting Mulgrave’s long-term vision we show our commitment to the school’s values and can also help create a strong positive impact on the community as a whole.”

Supporters of the Head’s Priority Fund

We are committed to enhancing Mulgrave’s excellence, and part of that is investing in the facilities available within the school. By contributing to initiatives like the musical playground, we can ensure that Emily and other students can develop their love of music with the best learning spaces and equipment.”

GARDEN PARTY GALA

In early May 2022, more than 400 members of the Mulgrave community gathered for a formal garden partythemed gala at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. As one of our first events following the lifting of COVID restrictions, guests enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with one another and contribute to a good cause.

Attendees were treated to incredible student performances including Chinese dance, vocals, dance, and a medley of hits by our Middle School rock band. Through various auctions, a giving drive, games, raffles, and ticket sales, our community raised more than $550,000.

The proceeds will go towards Mulgrave’s scholarship programme so that we can continue to support deserving students who can then join our school community without financial barriers. Many thanks to our generous guests and sponsors, who recognise that with privilege comes great responsibility.

This event would not have been possible without the commitment of event cochairs Shima Fasihi and Neda Arbabioon, the tireless efforts of our volunteer committees, and the many hands who took care of every detail and made this a night to remember - thank you.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE & ENDOWMENT

MESSAGE FROM THE MULGRAVE FOUNDATION

Dear Mulgrave School Community, When I took on the role of Chair of the Foundation Board at the beginning of the 2021-22 school year, I did it with a personal conviction and belief that financial barriers should not stand in the way of access to a great Mulgrave education. As annual donations grow and our endowment fund builds, we will be able to do this more sustainably, and for even more students in the future.

The Foundation exists to support the school’s mission and our culture of philanthropy through its stewardship of gifts and endowments from individuals, corporations, foundations, and trusts. In the 2021-2022 school year, we:

• raised $750,000 towards our financial assistance programmes,

• grew our endowment to a grand total of $2,431,175,

• and supported 20 students with financial assistance, including 4 students from Afghanistan with full tuition and fees through the Sparks programme.

Generous contributions to our endowment fund allow us to expand our financial assistance programme sustainably and with stability by only drawing on interest. We are prudent with these donations, using an investment policy designed to deliver long-term growth and income generation with adequate diversification to reduce risk during turbulent markets. This long-term approach ensures we can continue to enrich our school as a whole by recruiting and retaining a diverse student body.

I would like to thank all donors for their generous support of our financial assistance programme as well as my fellow Foundation Board Members for their insight and commitment.

It is because of everyone’s dedication that we can support incredible students in their pursuit of personal best.

Sincerely,

Charles Chang

We are grateful to be a part of a school community that is so committed to enabling students to develop their creativity, innovation, and collaboration skills.

By supporting Financial Assistance, we feel like we can help increase diversity in this community which will benefit all students by adding different points of view.”

VOLUNTEERING AT MULGRAVE

The MVP facilitates volunteerism at our school by connecting parents and family members with hands-on opportunities to enrich and enhance student life. Many thanks to 179 volunteers who contributed their time and talent during the 2021-22 school year; Mulgrave would not be the school it is without you.

We also have volunteers who work with older students in the form of applied learning. Sixty parents supported our entrepreneurship and character education classes by providing students with real-life perspectives.

We appreciate all our volunteers and are thankful to have such an engaged community.

Kristina and Ian Bergman, Applied Learning Volunteers Parents of Ben (‘34) and Georgina (‘37)

It’s very important to us that our children are inspired in their education, and volunteering has allowed us to see that Mulgrave is truly invested in developing each student’s individual strengths and passions.”

Cindy Pau, MVP Cafeteria Coordinator, and Edmond Wong, Applied Learning Volunteer Parents of Cameron (‘29) and Elizabeth (‘31)

We feel fortunate to be part of a school where our families consistently go above and beyond to help. Volunteering lets me interact with our community and contribute to this firsthand, and it makes me happy knowing that our children are being taught and supported by people with the same great values.”
