FFE Scholars Association

Dear Alumni,

As the financial year 2011-12 comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the events of the action packed FY and seek your support!

The FFE Scholars’ Association (FFESA) along with FFE conducted five successful, well attended Open House events during 2011-12 in 5 cities, an unprecedented record! For information on each function, please visit previous posts of this website or pick the links below:

1) West Bengal - Kolkata - 25th September 2011 - http://sa.ffe.org/node/87
2) Karnataka - Bengaluru - 16th October 2011 - http://sa.ffe.org/node/127

Thanks to those of you who participated in one or more of the above events. If you didn’t, we would like you to come next time and become an active member of this vibrant community of FFE scholars.

During these events alone, Alumni like you have contributed almost Rs. 3 lakh which calls for a great round of applause!

Total donation from Alumni to FFE India Trust is over Rs. 17 lakh for the FY 2011-12 till date. FFESA and its members have set a target of raising funds to the tune of Rs. 25 Lakh this FY to support more bright and meritorious students through FFE scholarships. This target is achievable through your donation in the next 3 weeks. Chief Guests at our events, Mr. Kris Gopalakrishnan and Mr. Lakshmi Narayanan are just two luminaries among the many who praised FFE’s work, lauded FFE’s scholars and the Alumni group. They specifically talked about the important role that alumni play in building the organization and contributing to its growth and appeal.

As conveyed earlier, the Matching Donation Challenge (ending on 31st March 2012) was initiated by a generous donor from Mumbai; here is what you can do to avail of this offer:
- New donor: If you are contributing for the first time, a donation of Rs. 10,000 and above will be matched by Rs. 10,000 from the donor.
- Renewing donor: If you have contributed previously but increase your contribution this year to Rs. 10,000 or over, your donation will be matched by the donor.

PLEASE MAKE YOUR DONATION TO FFE TODAY AND MOVE CLOSER TO FULFILLING YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT TO FFE!

If you have already contributed in AY 2011-12, FFE thanks you for your generosity and we look forward to your continuing support.
