The student aid endowment was
orginally started two and a half years
ago under the auspices of the Douglas
College Student Trust. This group was
{ater amalgamated into the Founda-
tion.

Fundraising efforts have been suppor-
ted by a wide variety of community
groups, with the Vancouver Founda-
tion offering a dollar for dollar matching
of all other donations.

“We're very proud to receive such
lremendous response,” said Emerton.
“With the Foundation, we can help
make Douglas College the type of
community based institution we really
want to be.”

Emerton said the wide extent of
community involvement is expressed
on the Foundation Board of Directors
with representatives from local busi-
ness, community groups, and the dif-
ferent internal components of Douglas
College.

 

STUDENT ENDOWMENT

The student endowment fund of the
Douglas College Foundation has
grown to over $310,000, says Founda-
tion Chairman Bill Emerton.

Emerton, Chairman of the Foundation
Board of Directors, and a former
Chairman of the Douglas College
Board, said the money will go along
way in ensuring capable and deserv-
ing students have opportunities to att-
end Douglas College.

“It's a great beginning,” said Emerton.
“We couldn't have done it without the
support and assistance from our
college faculty, staff, students,
administration and the Foundation
Board.”

The Foundation was formed in
February 1986 to raise money for
programs and projects which meet the
needs of the students and communi-
ties Douglas College serves.
