Tips for Applicants

This foundation primarily supports its own institution (Marist College Ashgrove) rather than external grant applications. External inquiries should demonstrate alignment with Marist educational values and Catholic social teaching, particularly regarding support for disadvantaged youth and regional communities.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation operates on a community-based giving model, emphasizing ongoing parental and family support as essential to institutional development. It values accessibility and equity in education, using donations to maintain facilities and manage fee pressures rather than generate surplus, reflecting a philosophy of shared responsibility within the Marist community for educational excellence.
