Bequests and Donations
The Women's College does not receive any government or institutional financial assistance. The College is therefore dependent on the Women's College community and friends to fund scholarships and other philanthropic projects. It is only through bequests and donations that we can continue to maintain our traditions of excellence, keep College affordable for all, and keep pace with change.
The Women's College Foundation was established in 1982 and raised substantial funds over the period 1982-1987. In 1993 the Foundation was re-established in response to the need for scholarships and building works. For more information about scholarships, bequests and donations please contact the Women's College Community Office on (612) 9517-5008 or email community@thewomenscollege.com.au.
Dining Room Chairs
The College recently invested over $1 million on the restoration of the historically important Louisa Macdonald Dining Hall, and the complete renovation of the kitchen. It now aims to replace the existing plastic dining chairs with replicas of the few original wooden chairs that remain. To help fund this worthwhile venture, there is the opportunity to purchase a chair to which a personalized brass plaque will be attached.
o $450 for the chair and the inscribed plaque
o Up to 40 characters on each plaque
o More than one person may donate a plaque (e.g. it might be on behalf of a family or in memory of a former student.)
o The inscribed plaque will remain a permanent fixture on the chair.
To donate a chair, please click here for a brochure, or contact Eliza Newton on 02 9517-5008 or community@thewomenscollege.com.au.
