Ballarat And Queen's Anglican Grammar School Foundation Limited
Tips for Applicants
This is a school-based foundation that does not accept external grant applications. Giving is directed internally to Ballarat Grammar School students and facilities. The Foundation welcomes donations from the school community and broader supporters through two tax-deductible funds. For those wishing to establish named scholarships or support specific purposes, contact Director of Development Travis Polkinghorne to discuss designated giving options. Bequest donors are recognized through the Manifold Circle with VIP event invitations and commemorative pins.
Giving Philosophy
The Foundation operates with a dual focus: the Endowed Fund supports diversity in student life through scholarships and bursaries for students facing financial barriers, while the Building Fund enables major capital projects that advance the school's educational program. Inspired by Anglican values of openness and inclusivity, the Foundation aims to ensure the school's vision continues for future generations through both need-based access and facility enhancement.
