Why an Alumni Foundation?
- Need for a single body that will put together ALL graduates of MSHS.
- Need for a single body to represent all MSHS alumni in dealing with the school and other institutions – public and private.
Advantages of having a single “umbrella” entity
- It provides links among the different batch associations.
- It serves as a ‘clearing house’ of projects which the alumni can undertake for the school.
- It can, as one entity, undertake bigger, longer-term programs and projects for the school.
- While batch associations link up the different class members with one another, the Foundation links up the different batch associations with one another.
Roles of the Foundation and the Batch Associations
- The Foundation pursues bigger/longer term projects and programs; the batches take care of projects with a definite start and completion. (Ex. Batch refurbishes the library or computer room; Foundation subsidizes school’s internet subscription).
- The Foundation, working together with the school administration, PTC and Student Council, identifies and prioritizes projects which need the help of alumni. Such projects are then assigned by the Foundation to whichever batch is interested to adopt the project. The batch, then, becomes the project proponent.
- The Foundation can tap corporate donors and can solicit funds with tax benefits.
Therefore, ….the MSHS Alumni Foundation, Inc. and the Batch Associations do not compete….
We compliment one another!!!!
