THE NEWINGTON FOUNDATION LIMITED
Tips for Applicants
Prospective donors should consider contributing to specific funds like the Newington College Scholarship Fund or Building Fund, which are tax-deductible. The Foundation emphasizes prudent financial management and Christian values in its operations. Engagement with fundraising campaigns like the 'Give the Gift of Opportunity' can significantly leverage donations through matching initiatives. Applications for scholarships would be through Newington College rather than directly through the Foundation's giving platform.
Giving Philosophy
The Foundation approaches giving by fostering a culture of philanthropy and ensuring prudent management of all funds under trust, guided by an Investment Sub-committee and external fund managers. Their investment policy emphasizes ethical guidelines, Christian values, strong governance, and reputation. They are committed to transparency and accountability, aiming to provide educational opportunities through means-tested scholarships and support for the College's infrastructure.
