Student Fundraising Havergal’s approach to community engagement and fundraising aligns with our mission; we approach fundraising as engaging with our Community Partners by considering People (rather than just causes or organizations), Place (where they are in the world and in relationship with the Havergal community), Perspective (requires research and outreach), Positionality (reflect on how we see and are seen by others) and Partnership (rather than giving or helping). Our Community Partners are (list updated annually): Wednesday Programming Standing Community Partnerships Grenoble North York Harvest Food Bank

Fundraising at Havergal College includes raising money, resources (such as food and clothing) and awareness in support of our Community Partnerships. Our annual fundraising goal is to focus collective efforts on one major school-wide initiative during Celebration Day, alongside ongoing targeted drives throughout the year. All fundraising and awareness-building efforts are guided by integrity, ethical practice and a commitment to reciprocal learning. To support this approach: ​ 1. ​ Students may initiate drives that directly support our current Community Partnerships. 2. ​ Proposals for drives or fundraisers can be made in cases of urgent needs (ex: war, natural disaster, impact close to our community). All proposals and drives beyond what is already scheduled must be brought to members of the Forum for Change for review. Appropriate proposals will then be brought to the Upper School Student Life Committee, which is led by the Head of Upper School. Havergal acknowledges that students have the desire to fundraise and get involved with supporting their community and organizations of interest to them. We encourage students and faculty to align with our Community Partnerships wherever possible. Where this is not possible, students and faculty are encouraged to work with members of the Forum for Change to build their capacity outside of Havergal’s direct, on-campus support.
