OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP
Leave a legacy
We understand that not everyone will be able to make a gift in their lifetime but may wish to follow in the visionary footsteps of Sir William Fettes by supporting future generations of Fettesians. Remembering the Fettes Foundation (charity no. SC028350) in your will is a simple, tax efficient way to recognise what Fettes means to you. After taking care of loved ones, if you would like to give something back through a legacy, however big or small, please ask your solicitor for help with this.
Donate a Fettes education
Some Old Fettesians and parents have very generously committed to donating a major gift which is equivalent to the fees and extras of a 100% bursary recipient throughout their time at Fettes. A gift at this level can be made as a one-off donation or pledged over a number of years and donated monthly, quarterly or annually.
Build the endowment
To maximise both the short-term and long-term impact of bursary donations, philanthropic income is currently split between funding current 100% bursary students and building the College endowment. Our ultimate goal is to increase the endowment fund to generate enough investment income annually to fund our 100% bursary places. We know that some donors may prefer to gift a significant lump sum to the endowment to drive us forward to reach our goal and help provide transformational bursaries for centuries to come.
Spread the word
If you have been inspired to donate after reading about the impact that your support can have, please spread the word and encourage others to join you in making a difference.
