Legacy Project Fundraising in Ghana: How Presec Legon 2G1 Is Activating Their Alumni Network for 2026

Legacy Project Fundraising is becoming increasingly important for Old School year groups across Ghana as the 2026 Speech & Prize Giving celebrations approach.

From classroom renovations to staff accommodation blocks, alumni groups are stepping forward to build lasting infrastructure for their alma mater. But while alumni pride is great, many year groups still rely solely on internal contributions from members.

The 2G1 year group of Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School (Presec Legon) is demonstrating a more scalable approach to legacy project fundraising, combining member contributions with structured network fundraising powered by Reveknew.

Their model provides a blueprint for alumni fundraising in Ghana.

The Challenge with Traditional Legacy Project Fundraising

Most year group fundraising efforts follow a familiar structure:

• Agree on a fixed member contribution amount

• Send reminders in group chats

• Manually track payments

• Follow up repeatedly

While this method works, it places a ceiling on fundraising potential. The total raised is limited to what the year group alone can contribute.

However, each member represents more than one contributor. Every member has an extended network:

• Family

• Friends

• Colleagues

• Business contacts

• Fellow alumni beyond their immediate class

Effective legacy project fundraising expands beyond the year group list.

What Is Network-Based Legacy Project Fundraising?

Network fundraising (also known as peer-to-peer fundraising) allows each member to raise funds from their personal ecosystem using a structured digital system.

Instead of only contributing individually, members become fundraising ambassadors.

For Presec Legon 2G1, this meant:

• Creating a central campaign account for their 2026 Legacy Project.

• Defining a clear fundraising goal for their 4-unit, 2-bedroom staff accommodation block.

• Generating personalised fundraising links for each member.

• Allowing members to share their unique links across WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and direct outreach.

• Receiving contributions directly into the designated project account via Mobile Money.

• Tracking participation and progress transparently using a leaderboard.

This hybrid approach strengthens legacy project fundraising by combining internal contributions with network activation.

A Blueprint for 2026 Alumni Fundraising in Ghana

As 2026 approaches, many Old School year groups will launch legacy project fundraising campaigns.

The key question is not whether alumni care; they do. The question is whether fundraising models are structured to unlock the full alumni network.

Presec Legon 2G1’s approach demonstrates that:

• Member contributions provide a strong foundation.

• Network fundraising multiplies reach.

• Digital structure increases transparency and participation.

Legacy project fundraising in Ghana is evolving — and network activation is becoming a key multiplier.

If your year group is planning a 2026 Legacy Project or Speech & Prize Giving event, structured network fundraising may significantly increase your impact.
