Giving at Launceston Grammar
Philanthropy is at the heart of Launceston Grammar’s history, success and values. Our donors choose to give because they know their actions transform lives and shapes the future of our great School; ensuring an environment that continues to nurture, challenge and inspire well into the future.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who makes a gift to the School, we thank them and recognise their support through donor events and in the pages of News from Launceston Grammar.
Annual Fundraising
Our history of giving
In 2021 we have something very special to celebrate, our 175th anniversary. Our School’s foundation was possible thanks to people’s generosity. From the moment a committee was formed in 1838 to petition for a grant of land behind St John’s Church, support from people has underpinned the possibilities we have pursued and the achievements of the School.
From the construction of the first School building in the 1840s, to the move to Mowbray in 1923, to the building of the Chapel and every item within, to expansions in the 1980s as the School grew after the amalgamation with Broadland, to more recent developments like Faulkner Park, Café 1846 and the Aviation space, all these wonderful achievements would not have been possible without donations of all sizes, from small to large. Your gift is part of this success.
Choose your impact
Gifts of any size, to any of our campaigns, are greatly appreciated, and all make a significant difference.
Donations (over $2.00) to either the Launceston Church Grammar School Scholarship Fund Trust or Launcestonian Foundation Library Trust Fund are tax deductible.
