We have several groups of well credentialed volunteers who are advocates for philanthropy. Their involvement, leadership and encouragement of others to support the School's vision exemplifies Melbourne Grammar School's core value of ‘a sense of community’.
Melbourne Grammar School Foundation Board
The Melbourne Grammar School Foundation Board actively encourage philanthropy to help preserve, develop and improve the standards, facilities and wellbeing of the School.
Members of the Board host events organised by the Community Relations Office in support of fundraising priorities and stewardship programs. They possess an awareness of Melbourne Grammar School and its activities, future directions, programs and community. They work with the Head of Development to build strong and lasting relationships with benefactors, and to actively thank and recognise current and past donors. They provide visible leadership and set an example to others by making Melbourne Grammar School their philanthropic priority.
