Our Strategic Focus
Purpose of the Foundation
- To enhance Catholic Christian leadership in the schools and communities within the Medicine hat Catholic School Division.
Our Guiding Principles
When we initiate projects, our efforts must always:
- Align with the values and principles of our Catholic faith.
- Align with the plans and goals of the school system.
- Respond to our defined strategic focus.
- Not replace core (basic education) funding as it is defined by the school board. Raise our visibility and profile in the community.
- Communicate with the entire school system (board, administration, staff, students and the larger community).
Our Mission Statement is accomplished by:
- Raising the awareness of the foundation in the broad community.
- Working with the school division, and other patrons, to plan for and fund specific initiatives.
- Developing endowment funds to provide long term funding for our purpose.
- Providing a vehicle for persons/organizations to support Catholic education in the Medicine Hat Catholic Division through flow-through funds.
Our Strategic Focus
We will focus our efforts on:
- Developing a relationship with the school board and schools so we can align our efforts to support them.
- Developing a strategic focus that will serve to raise our profile, attract funds and serve the enhancement of the Catholic Christian learning community.
- Communicating the purpose of the foundation and the service we can provide.
- Fund development as opposed to fundraising.
- Finding resources for the operation of foundation.
