FUNDRAISING EFFORTS

Momentum - Mulgrave’s Annual Fund

Momentum is Mulgrave’s annual giving fund. It invests in operational initiatives such as new educational equipment, library acquisitions, teaching tools, curriculum enhancements, financial assistance, professional development for teachers, and strategic plan initiatives. The funds that we receive throughout the year give our educational leaders the flexibility to tackle new projects and take creative approaches to teaching and learning.

Because every year brings new ideas and projects, we ask families for an annual donation to this fund to help ensure our school continues to be an exemplary place to learn.

In many ways, participation is more important than the amount given. Our community is strengthened when everyone is invested in the school’s mission. Our goal is full participation at a level that is meaningful to you.

You can participate in one of our Momentum Annual Giving appeals starting in late October. You will receive these appeals typically through mail or email throughout the school year.

Individualised Gifts and Recognition Opportunities

In addition to our Momentum Annual Fund, you have the option of working closely with the Donor Engagement team to develop a personalised plan for a gift that reflects your philanthropic priorities. You can also establish your legacy and connection to the school through special naming opportunities.

Individualised gifts are typically earmarked for specific projects, such as building projects or major renovations, that have a pressing need in our community. For example, past donors have made gifts to the Squamish Outdoor Leadership and Education Centre, helped fund the creation of the Athletics and Performing Arts Centre, and increased our financial assistance budget to enable more socioeconomically diverse families to attend Mulgrave.

Throughout the school year, the Donor Engagement team connects with families individually through ‘new parent’ meetings to provide information on special upcoming projects and potential partnerships.
