Department Profile - Douglas College
Foundation

 

 

 

 

 

The Douglas College Foundation (I to r): Mark Crozet, Director; Alana Frymire,
Alumni and Development Officer; Deb McFadyen, Community Resource
Development Assistant.

 

The message from government at all levels is clear: public money for education is in short
supply. That’s why the work of the Douglas College Foundation is so important. It manages
endowments of about $2.5 million, and oversees donations of $900,000 each year, providing
financial support for students and alumni activities and financial support for further develop-
ment of College programs. But the Foundation does more than just distribute scholarships
and bursaries; it’s a resource for the College in other ways as well. Here’s a look at the
people who make up the Douglas College Foundation, and what they do.

Mark Crozet, Director

Mark is the first resource person to see regarding fundraising activities and donations to the
College. He runs the administrative side of the Foundation, which includes managing the
endowment funds, support for the Foundation board of directors, overseeing annual
programs and activities, and planning for major gifts. He is the community liaison for Foun-
dation campaign planning, and manages distribution of funds. He can provide advice on how
to raise funds for College programs and activities, or how to go about making a donation to
the Foundation or to a College program.

Alana Frymire, Alumni and Development Officer

Alana’s primary role is working with faculty on fundraising projects. Student aid projects
begin with her as well; she works to find possible sources of funds, and then develops and
writes proposals for funding from those sources. Alana is the support person for the Alumni
Association, and coordinates most of the Alumni Association activities, such as the Career
Fair. She also produces print materials for the Foundation, and for specific projects.

Deb McFadyen, Community Resource Development Assistant

Deb coordinates most of the Foundation’s annual programs, such as Foundation Week and
the Award Ceremonies that take place each semester. She is in charge of records manage-
ment for the Foundation, keeping track of donors and maintaining contact with them. Deb
coordinates annual mail programs, internal fundraising programs (such as the 60/40 lottery),
and external communications (newsletter and annual report mailing and other donor
contacts). i
