Canadian Academy students, parents, faculty, staff and alumni engaged in fundraising are asked to follow these guidelines:
The purpose and activities of fundraising must comply with our school mission. Fundraising should not be for commercial or advertising purposes.
The plan of a fundraising activity must be submitted to the K-12 Director of Service or Director of Advancement for approval before the activity can begin. The Director will first confirm that the activity is appropriate for the school and does not conflict with other fundraising activities, especially with those for the school, and second, consult with the headmaster or the principal(s) of the school(s) concerned.
Fundraising benefitting only for the fundraiser is usually not allowed. The recipients of fundraising could be the following communities: CA community; Local community; Overseas community
The purpose and the result of the fundraising activity must be communicated to the donors(e.g. the amount of donation, how it was distributed, feedback from the recipient, etc.) by reporting to the CA Director of Service for distribution to the CA community and/or for publication.
Fundraising should be aligned with the goals of the charity project. Organizers are encouraged to explore creative and healthy ways to meet fundraising goals. Fundraising is meant to be a meaningful educational experience for students.
Fundraising is one way to help others, but it is not the only way. Organizers are encouraged to contact the beneficiary of the service to identify the most effective form the service could take.
Please note that fundraising activities should not contradict the ES/MS/HS Handbooks, CA curriculum, or the Guidelines for the Provision of Food for Class or School Events.
