SAINT JOSEPH’S SCHOOL
Alumni – USA
A Proposal
Louie Sena – SJS Batch 80
Background
Prop 1 – Batch 80 said…Lets sponsor
1 student (4 years HS)
Prop 2 – Another Batch 80 said..Why
not create a US based scholarship
foundation?
Prop 3 – The Principal, Ms. Lampazo
said… How about a PI based
scholarship foundation?
Why Prop 3 Makes Sense?
Local based / Local run
Centralized – all donations (Foreign
and Local) go directly here
Credible – structured, organized and
accountable
Challenges
Heavy monetary requirements
Could take time to mature
Demands COMMITMENT!
What Can We Do?
Raise
funds…HOW???
Let’s Do Fundraising
Not so fast…need to comply with the
LAW
Must have a Non-Profit affiliation
Solution…Establish a NON-PROFIT
ORGANIZATION…

How Do We Start?
Let’s do a survey … this is a
Democratic Country right? Yeay or
Nay
If Yeay, Recruit/Create a committee
with representation from other
batches…Yes of Course.
Introduce / Launch
What’s Next?
Communicate intentions to SJS Management
Formalize the Board – Vote?
Get the paper works going – May take and some investment and time
Coordinate
Raise FUNDS
When FUNDS is built up then we can ROCK n ROLL!
What do we Need
Incorporate
◦ Articles, Bylaws, Statement of information
Employer ID
Bank Account
Register
Request Tax Exemptions (501)
And a lots of commitment from the
Board and Members
