Our Story & Mission

This includes:

• • Annual Donations: Many alumni contribute annually to the association as a way to give back to the institution that shaped their lives. These donations can be one-time contributions or recurring monthly or yearly pledges.
• • One-Time Donations: For special initiatives, projects, or capital improvements at JNV Garia, alumni may make one-time donations. These funds are often directed toward specific goals such as infrastructure upgrades, scholarship programs, or social welfare projects.
• • Major Donors: Some members, especially those who have achieved significant success in their careers, choose to make large, impactful contributions to BAAJ. These funds often go toward specific high-impact projects like building new classrooms, upgrading sports facilities, or launching educational programs.

Through these donations, BAAJ is able to continue its work with the current generation of students and improve the educational environment at JNV Garia.

Many alumni are now established in successful business ventures and corporations and are in a position to mobilize their companies for sponsorship opportunities.

• • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives: Many companies allocate a portion of their profits to CSR activities, and education is often a primary focus. BAAJ works to align its initiatives with the CSR goals of businesses, seeking funding for specific projects such as educational outreach, scholarships, mentorship programs, or community development activities.
• • Collaborations with Businesses: In some cases, companies provide in-kind donations such as technology, infrastructure support, or career-building workshops, which can directly benefit students and alumni alike.

These events include:

• • Annual Alumni Reunions: During the alumni meetups, BAAJ often hosts fundraising auctions, donation drives, or charity dinners to raise funds for specific projects. These events are also an opportunity for alumni to reconnect with the school and contribute in meaningful ways.
• • Crowdfunding Campaigns: For specific causes—such as raising funds for scholarships or infrastructure improvements—BAAJ runs online crowdfunding campaigns. Through these campaigns, alumni and well-wishers are encouraged to make small or large contributions, which can add up to significant amounts for a meaningful cause.
• • Community Outreach Events: BAAJ also organizes social and cultural events, such as sports tournaments, fairs, and exhibitions, where entry fees or event sponsorships are used to fund ongoing projects.

These events play a critical role in maintaining a strong bond within the alumni community while raising the necessary funds for the association's ongoing work.

These grants are typically awarded for specific projects aimed at improving education quality, promoting rural development, or providing access to higher education for marginalized students.

• • Government Grants: Government bodies and educational ministries sometimes offer funding for initiatives that align with national educational policies. BAAJ explores such opportunities to obtain funds for academic programs, skill development workshops, or infrastructure improvements.
• • Philanthropic Foundations: National and international philanthropic foundations also offer funding for projects aimed at improving education in underserved areas. BAAJ applies for such grants to fund long-term projects that require substantial financial backing.

These external funding sources help BAAJ ensure the sustainability and expansion of its key programs.

While membership fees are generally nominal, they serve as a consistent stream of income that allows the association to cover administrative costs, organize events, and fund smaller initiatives.

• • Alumni Memberships: Every alumni member of BAAJ is encouraged to contribute to the association's funds by paying an annual or lifetime membership fee. This membership helps cover the basic operational expenses of the association, including communication, event planning, and networking.

These endowments serve as a lasting legacy, generating income over time to fund scholarships, infrastructure projects, and academic support for students at JNV Garia.

Endowment funds are typically invested in low-risk financial instruments, and the income generated from these investments is used to support specific initiatives that align with the association's mission. For example, alumni may establish a scholarship fund in memory of a beloved teacher or classmate, or to honor a specific cause related to education.

These collaborations can involve joint ventures for educational programs, career fairs, or infrastructure projects, where BAAJ serves as a facilitator for alumni engagement.

• • Government Educational Programs: At times, BAAJ partners with government educational schemes, which offer funding for skill development, vocational training, and mentoring programs. These initiatives benefit the students at JNV Garia as well as alumni who wish to give back to the institution.
• • University Partnerships: Partnering with universities for research projects or educational initiatives also opens up avenues for funding through grants, fellowships, and academic sponsorships.

These foundations may provide significant financial backing for specific initiatives, such as scholarships, academic resources, or community development efforts.
