Since its days on the Terrace, philanthropy has played an important role in the history and culture of Aquinas College.

In 1997, the Foundation was established to continue the generous tradition of giving, ensuring that boys today and in the future can benefit from the opportunities Aquinas College offers. In alignment with the Edmund Rice tradition, the Foundation plays a crucial role in increasing the provision of bursaries, allowing families who might otherwise be unable to afford tuition to send their boys to Aquinas. Additionally, the Foundation supports the College’s ongoing development through the provision of funds for essential capital projects, ensuring the continued growth and enrichment of the educational experience for all students.

With a focus on fundraising and fund management, the Foundation aims to:

-Raise funds to preserve, improve and develop the holistic educational opportunities and facilities at the College.

-Raise funds to ensure the ongoing success of appropriate student programs at the College, including bursaries and allowances.

-Encourage and foster the interest and financial support of past students, parents of students and friends of the College.

-Manage the funds of the Foundation in a prudent manner.
