Wellington College

Make a Gift

Since Wellington College’s foundation in 1867, the School has developed and inspired generations of well-rounded boys who have succeeded at home and abroad.

From our early beginnings, it was through the generosity of the Wellington College community that the School was able to provide an outstanding education for boys. This tradition of generosity continues to this day thanks to our community of parents, Old Boys, staff, volunteers and donors.

Gifts to Wellington College provide boys with life-changing opportunities.

If you would like to make a donation now our friendly Advancement Team are just a phone call or email away to discuss how you may wish to support the College further. Please contact the College by phone or by email:

Making a Difference

Whether it be the Annual Appeal, a Gift in Will, specific donations, scholarship support, sponsorship, or major campaigns, giving and gifts touch every student, every staff member, and every corner of the College.

Gifts at all levels can make this possible, and expand our horizons to allow a greater sharing of the opportunities that will allow the College to do what it must for the future. The exciting projects that lie ahead seek to wrap innovation and excellence around the wonderful tradition that has made the College such an iconic and well-known boys’ school.

Authentic partnerships contribute to meeting new challenges in a way that proudly delivers state-of-the-art facilities, stimulating innovative curriculum choices, and, most importantly, learning and leadership opportunities. We aim to prepare students fully equipped for the modern world, curious, passionate, and inspired.
