Recognising our donors

Donors name in metal

Our donors are partners in our achievements. They are part of our success, embrace our mission, vision and values, and are valued by staff, students, alumni and parents alike. We recognise their contribution through membership of the Foundation or Witherby Tower Society, participation in social events, inclusion in honour rolls, and by regularly keeping them informed of the profound impact of their support.

Our recognition societies

Melbourne Grammar School Foundation

The Foundation provides recognition and acknowledgment of individuals and organisations who have given $5,000 or more, either as a one-off gift or over time. These gifts help to preserve, develop and improve the standard of education we offer, supporting facilities and wellbeing across our School. 

Witherby Tower Society

The Witherby Tower Society honours individuals who have advised us that they have included a gift to Melbourne Grammar School in their Will.

Our donor community

When you join our Foundation or Witherby Tower Society, you will be invited to be part of the School community through our regular campus events. These range from student concerts, plays and lectures to social functions where you can meet with other donors and hear from the Headmaster, teachers and students.

How we share your stories

Members of the Melbourne Grammar School Foundation and Witherby Tower Society are invited to the Melbourne Grammar School Foundation Annual General meeting and many other Development hosted events. We also share philanthropic stories in Grammar News and from time to time via electronic and print communication.

The School’s donor community is made up of a rich tapestry of people – Old Melburnians, staff, parents, friends, students and volunteer leaders – who share a common vision to enhance the educational environment of our students.
