THE ALOYSIAN ANNUAL FUND APPEAL

MEET BURSARY SCHOLAR, LEONARDO RAMIREZ Class of 2005, Page 3

2020/21 community.staloysius.org/aloysian-fund

Bursaries: Transforming Young Lives Thanks to the generosity of Donors to last year’s Aloysian Annual Fund Appeal, we were able to spend just under £250,000 on the following areas of importance during 2019-20.

Increasing the number of Bursary places has never been more vital than it is today. Our Jesuit ethos of supporting those in greatest need – young people from families of modest means, who would thrive given the chance – is at the heart of The Opportunity Fund.

AREAS SUPPORTED 2019-20

Your gift can offer hope and opportunity to those who can benefit from the special type of education at the College.

THE ALOYSIAN FUND APPEAL

Meet Bursary Scholar, Leonardo Ramirez, Class of 2005 Glasgow became Leonardo’s home in 2000 when his family arrived from Chile in search of a better life. He was encouraged by his local secondary school to apply to the College for a Bursary – as they spotted his exceptional talent for Maths, Physics and Languages – and knew that he would flourish at the College.

Joining in 2003 in 5th year, Leonardo got involved in every aspect of College life – from his academic studies to extra-curricular activities – such as the Choir and The Children’s Fund.

He went on to study Aeronautical Engineering at the prestigious Imperial College London and he now works for a leading bank and wealth management company in London.

Why do you give?

“I chose to become a donor and give back because I’ve received a lot personally . . . I’ve put into practice what I learned here; giving back to the school.”

Take Your Seats Appeal Our fundraising plans for the Seating Appeal for the College Hall had to take a “back seat” due to the Coronavirus outbreak earlier in the year, when instead we asked for urgent help for The Hardship Fund.

Seats are still available and you can dedicate a seat in your name, to a loved-one or in memoriam.

To start installing the retractable seating, we need 85 more seats to be sponsored.

Giving by Numbers

£500 £50 5

Donation for one seat if your gift is in full You can spread the cost of your seat with a gift of £50 over 10 months Seat naming is for 5 years once installation is completed

Where the Need is Greatest This is our unrestricted fund which allows the Head Master and Bursar to support a specific need. In Summer 2020, donations to ‘Where the Need is Greatest’ were diverted to ‘The Hardship Fund’ to help families who were at risk of having to remove their children from the College. It provided stability and reassurance for families facing an uncertain future due to the economic impact of Covid-19.

FAQ 3 Q: How much of my donation actually goes to the intended fund?

A: 100% of your gift is ring-fenced for the area you support.

Why do you give?

“I give because, without sounding biased, this school is absolutely and utterly unique in Glasgow. At its core are a set of values that are so important and every young person who passes through the doors of 45 Hill Street, uses these values for the benefit of others.”

“Donations large or small hopefully benefit future generations of young people to wear the Green Blazer with pride.”

Kirsty Wilkie née Macleod (1993) Current Parent, “Take Your Seats” Donor
