2022 Fundraising Report

In 2020, Brisbane Grammar School launched a comprehensive campaign to fundraise $10million for the STEAM Precinct and the Bursary Fund.

At the time of writing, the BGS community has contributed $8.5M. We are humbled and grateful for this outstanding result.

In 2022, we received 737 gifts from 542 donors.

Old Boy Bob Bryan has allocated $500,000 towards STEAM in his will. To honor this gift, the School will establish the Bryan Geosciences Centre within the STEAM Precinct.
