This deliverable supports the Strategic Plan initiative to cultivate exceptional learning environments and communities through technology and sustainable campus development and is focused on launching the INSPIRE Campaign: the largest comprehensive fundraising campaign in BCIT‘s history.
The goal of the INSPIRE Campaign is to raise $125 million in support of a bold, ambitious vision and long-term development plan for BCIT. The first phase represents well over $450 million in infrastructure and education renewal of which the INSPIRE Campaign will raise $125 million from the private sector. The Campaign will make significant investments in three key pillars: Campus Redevelopment; Access and Inclusion; and Teaching and Learning Innovation. Students are at the heart of the INSPIRE Campaign.
To date, we’ve:
- recruited exceptional volunteer leadership for both the Campaign Cabinet and Campaign Patrons;
- developed compelling collateral to secure donor support including leadership gifts;
- secured donations to proceed and are continuing to secure additional donations to meet the $11.7 million Health Science Centre fundraising goal; and
- developed a comprehensive strategy and plan to publicly announce the Leadership Launch, including Campaign Cabinet, Patrons and lead donors (implementation October through December 2019).
We invite the BCIT community to learn more and join us on this journey. Please visit our campaign website and share the BCIT story with industry partners, alumni, individuals and corporations to inspire their support for the Campaign.
