The IVC PSFA ignite programme enhances the learning of students by utilising parents’ skills to actively support the school. As part of a drive toward winning more resources, IVC would like to maximise its exposure amongst Alumni supporters, with the aim of fundraising in two main areas:

• Crowdfunding particular projects through ‘My Donate’
• Securing legacies

To do this, we would like to produce a digital termly newsletter (3 times a year), which encourages Alumni to support the above areas.

Resources available

We have a large database of Alumni email addresses, on a system that can send bulk emails to the recipients.

My Donate is all set up and ready to go, to receive gift-aided donations.

A lot of content, in terms of facebook posts that could be re-purposed to a more ‘newsletter’ type format

The newsletter could be hosted on the IVC website

Resources to be secured

A graphic designer to layout the newsletter? May not be necessary.

Time Commitment

Setup

• Meeting with Lisa to scope the project - 1 hour
• My Donate training with Lisa - 1 hour (or less)
• Alumni database training with Amy - 1 hour
• Working with graphic designer - 1 hour (may not be necessary)

Ongoing

• 2-3 hours per term (3 times a year)? Including:
• Weekly monitoring of IVC facebook page, to copy over items that would be of interest to Alumni supporters.

Benefits

Watching your hard work make a positive difference to your child’s learning, as the resources you bring in will be used to fund a variety of innovative, extra-curricular and enrichment activities.
