Foundation

St Vincent’s College Foundation Limited

The Foundation was established as a fully incorporated company in 1991 to support the first capital appeal for the rebuilding of the Boarding Houses, Aikenhead and Tarmons. The second capital appeal, commenced in 1996, has seen the completion of the Sr Baptist White Visual Arts Centre, the Garcia Centre for Performing Arts and Languages, the waterproofing and reroofing of the Victoria Street building, paving in the Grotto area, the redesign of the flat roof area including the addition of sails and the complete refurbishment of the old refectory as the Technology and Applied Studies Centre.

The Foundation, as the fundraising arm of the College, continues to ensure that financial support is maintained for the development of the College’s facilities.

The Development Office

The Development Office, which comes under the auspices of the Foundation, is run by the Director of Development who liaises with the College Community and Associated Bodies in promoting, marketing, friend raising and fund raising for the present and future benefits of St Vincent’s College, Potts Point.

Donations to the Foundation

As the Foundation is a registered Charity and has deductible gift recipient status, all donations to St Vincent's College Foundation Limited Building Fund are tax deductible and funds are used for our Capital Works to benefit our students learning environment.

If you wish to make a donation to the College, to assist us in providing the best possible learning facilities, simply send a cheque made out to the St Vincent's College Foundation Limited Building Fund or credit card detail or simply contact the Director of Development.

A Bursary Fund has been established for students whom, because of difficult circumstances, are unable to attend the College, but at the same time would benefit from the experience. Bursary recipients remain confidential. Class Bursaries are now being organized by some of our past students at their reunions, which will be of great benefit to future students.
