Some years have a fundraising goal – a specific, more significant objective to raise money towards, such as new playground equipment or a lobby refresh.
Other years, funds are allocated based on the budget for current objectives.
Each year funds are allocated towards the goals and budget of that school year.

The MPAC follows Policy 413: Corporate Sponsorships, Partnerships and Advertising in Schools. Decisions on the methods of raising funds for the school shall be made in consultation with the school’s principal in accordance with School District policies and procedures.
The money that the MPAC raises has a huge impact on school life. It enables the MPAC to fund a multitude of services, events, programs, and equipment that enrich school life and excite children about their school experience. The PAC raises this money in several different ways:
- Fundraisers Events – Christmas Market, Welcome Back BBQ, Family Nights and more.
- Hot Lunch – restaurants provide meals at wholesale prices, the MPAC sell the items with a small mark-up to make a profit.
- Direct Donations – families donate money directly to the MPAC.
- Provincial Gaming Grant – each year the MPAC Treasurer applies for a Provincial Gaming Grant. Although it is a huge benefit when it is received, it is not guaranteed every year. Read more>>
Fundraising by the Montroyal PAC supports a whole range of expenditures that are a big part of your child’s daily experiences at school.
Official school operating budgets can keep the school running, but they don’t leave room for extras. PAC support provides bigger items like laptops and new playground equipment. It also supports cultural performances at the school and supplements class supply spending for teachers.
We aim to be judicious in our requests for funding from our parents, but it is essential that we receive this support. Thanks to each of you for your contributions – as well as to those who also give generously with their time at our activities and events!
