CGS Home – Give them the world

The CGS Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the 2025 CGS Annual Giving Campaign, kicking off on 20 May!

Each year, this campaign brings our community together to make a powerful and lasting difference in the lives of our students.

Whether it's through scholarships, campus enhancements, or vital learning resources, your generosity helps shape opportunities that inspire, empower, and transform. Every gift—no matter the size—has the power to create impact. Together, let’s continue to build a brighter future for Canberra Grammar School.

“When I saw the opportunity for a vocal scholarship, I immediately told my parents I wanted to apply because of my love for music. Since being on the programme, I am so proud to see how my vocal range has developed. I really enjoy exercising my alto and soprano ranges”

– Oluwatoni (Year 6) Kerry Allen Vocal Scholarship

“My scholarship has been a pathway to new opportunities—it’s opened doors that I otherwise wouldn’t have had access to. Through the mentorship programme, I’ve connected with CGS Alumni who bring a wealth of experience and insight.”

– Aarush (Year 12) Old Boys’ Association Scholarship for Distinctive Potential

THE IMPACT OF GIVING THROUGH THE CGS FOUNDATION

The CGS Foundation plays a vital role at CGS, allowing us to enhance the opportunities we are able to offer and to secure a bright and successful future for the School and our students. The CGS Foundation actively raises funding for Indigenous scholarships, Talent and Merit scholarships and bursaries as well as Campus Development and other areas of the greatest need around the School.

GIFT THEM THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE

Immerse yourself in the magic of music and the performing arts by personalising a seat in the heart of Snow Concert Hall – Canberra Grammar School. Whether you’re a dedicated music lover, a passionate supporter of the arts, or seeking a unique gift for a special someone, this is your chance to make a mark in the world of music, while supporting the CGS Foundation Scholarship Programme.

All pledges totalling $2K (this may consist of an ongoing commitment of $100 per term, $30 per month or $400 per year) will also be honoured with a plaque in the Snow Concert Hall.

“Along with our campus development programme, it is an ambitious target to support our profound and on-going commitment to ensure that our School always plays its part in the education of generations who will create a just and equitable future for all Australians”

The CGS Foundation Centenary Project was launched to coincide with our hundredth birthday in 2029. The Project’s purpose is underpinned by our aspiration to provide unparalleled excellence and opportunity, and 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.

Along with our campus development programme, it is an ambitious target to support our profound and on-going commitment to ensure that our School always plays its part in the education of generations who will create a just and equitable future for all Australians. We warmly invite you to share with us in The Centenary Project in whatever way you may, and to help us share it with our community; to explain our aspirations and the purpose of the project and the CGS Foundation to all whom you know can help.

We look forward to what lies ahead of 2029, and well beyond.
