PHILANTHROPY

Manager Ms Tammy Foley

The CGS Foundation has much gratitude for the ongoing support of the CGS community. Throughout 2022 we have seen amazing generosity from our alumni, staff, current and past parents, grandparents, and students.

Most donations received by the CGS Foundation during 2022 were directed towards the Indigenous Scholarship Programme and The Heads Discretionary Fund, where donors can provide funding towards the projects the Head of School deems to be a school priority.

The Centenary Project

The launch of The Centenary Project in May saw wonderful support for the Head of School’s vision as we look towards the school’s 100th birthday in 2029.

The goal is to grow the cumulative total of the CGS Foundation to $20.29 million (including distributions) to make possible the next stages of campus development and scholarship plans. The Centenary Project’s purpose is underpinned by our aspiration to provide unparalleled excellence and opportunity. Our vision is to see 100 students educated at CGS on Indigenous and equity scholarships, in addition to our current scholars, by the time we reach our 100th year.

Opening of the Snow Concert Hall

After years of planning and construction, the philanthropic vision of CGS Patrons Terry Snow (1961) & Ginette Snow was finally revealed on the evening of 25 August. The new building provides state-of-the-art concert facilities and is home to the CGS Music Department and Senior School Resource Centre, which generations of students will enjoy.

The endowment made by Mr & Mrs Snow has also impacted prospective donors who want to provide transformational change and experience to students regardless of their contribution. The CGS Foundation hope that this inspiration continues into 2023 and beyond.

The CGS Foundation continues its ongoing gratitude to the Snow Family for impacting student life and that of the greater CGS and Canberra community.
