The Foundation works closely alongside the College through the College Council and the Principal.
The Geelong College Foundation is reliant upon the generosity of the wider College community (parents, grandparents and Old Collegians). As a result of this generosity, the Foundation has been able to contribute dynamically to many aspects of College life which have resulted in new and improved learning opportunities for students and staff.
The Geelong College Foundation is managed by a dedicated professional Board supported by the Advancement Co-ordinator, Mrs Sally Sadler, who can be contacted on (03) 5226 3779 or at foundation@geelongcollege.vic.edu.au.
Securing our Future
The Geelong College Foundation was founded to preserve, develop and secure the financial future of The Geelong College. Since its inception, the Foundation has relied on the generosity of the wider College community and as a result of this philanthropic and forward looking culture, we have been able to contribute significantly to the life of the College. To learn about how you can help, please contact The Geelong College Foundation via email at foundation@geelongcollege.vic.edu.au or by phone on (03) 5226 3779 or (03) 5226 3194.
Annual Giving
Each year the Foundation asks for the support of the Geelong College community for special projects designed to enhance learning and life at The Geelong College. Every gift helps us to achieve our aim of supporting the College and its students to be the very best they can be. I encourage you to consider a gift to one of our wonderful 2019 project which are outlined below.
Regards,
Sandy Hutton (OGC 1973) - President of the Geelong College Foundation
