Aspire Child Development Centre Launches Alumni Legacy Fund
We are proud to share that Aspire Child Development Centre has launched its Alumni Legacy Fund at the Community Foundation of Central Alberta. This fund will serve as an opportunity for Aspire’s dedicated alumni community to come together in a shared act of giving back.
The Alumni Legacy Fund is part of Aspire’s broader Fee Assistance Endowment, which works to ensure that all families, regardless of financial circumstances, can access programs and services for their children with diverse needs. Each year, Aspire provides financial support to assist families in accessing essential early interventions for their children. Proceeds from the endowment are disbursed to cover this need, ensuring a stable funding source for the future. The new Alumni Legacy Fund will be a key pillar in strengthening and sustaining that capacity for years to come.
“Aspire Child Development Centre understands investments into their community’s future. By cultivating sustainable funding through initiatives like the Alumni Legacy Fund, Aspire is ensuring that the families who need support most will always have a place to turn, now and for years to come,” says Erin Peden, CFCAB Executive Director.
Leading the way are Lance and Jill Clark, proud alumni parents of Aspire Child Development Centre and early champions of this initiative. Lance, Aspire’s current Board Chair, and Jill were honoured to be the first contributors to the Alumni Legacy Fund. For them, giving to the Fund is a meaningful way to stay connected with the Aspire community while paying it forward to future families who will benefit from the same essential programs and services.
“All alumni can be part of Aspire’s future,” says Clark, highlighting heart of what makes this Fund so special. By pooling contributions from alumni who have experienced Aspire’s impact firsthand, the Alumni Legacy Fund transforms individual gifts into a collective and lasting force for good.
Aspire is working toward a $25,000 goal for the Alumni Legacy Fund, and every dollar brings them closer to building a more secure future for the children and families they serve. We encourage alumni and the broader community to follow the Clarks’ lead and join in supporting this wonderful cause.
