Strategic Direction

In 2000, the Trustees of the Memorial Fund adopted a new strategic plan for the years 2001 to 2007. The strategic planning process reaffirmed the overall mission, goals and beliefs that have guided the Memorial Fund since 1993, when it was founded as a memorial to the son of an immigrant family. In reviewing our past work, the staff and trustees also identified elements of practice that we most want to affirm because they are fitting as a memorial, they encourage those with whom we work, and they motivate us all to embrace new challenges.

We aim to:

• Create relationships that build trust and increase people’s capacity to imagine and achieve their goals.
• Respect the voices of all stakeholders in critically reflecting on our work and role.
• Help all citizens to understand the full spectrum of issues affecting children and education and help them participate in addressing these issues.
