FOUNDATION ACHIEVEMENTS

The Elizabeth College Foundation was founded in 2006 specifically to help the College recognise, and consolidate, the tremendous support that the school enjoys from its extended community. Since its creation, and through the generosity of its donors, the Foundation has played a vital role in supporting the College and creating life-changing educational opportunities.  The school is indebted to every one of those donors for the kindness and generosity they have shown.

The Foundation runs appeals approximately every five years and has had an enormous impact on the availability and quality of the facilities of the Elizabeth College Upper School and Junior School. The scale and success of the Foundation’s appeals are in part due to the generosity of a small number of significant donors. However, any gift can genuinely make a difference to the future of the College. It should be emphasised that all gifts to the Foundation are greatly appreciated.

In 2019 the Foundation launched the Chance of a Lifetime Appeal with twin aims of securing the purchase of Perrot Court and establishing a new bursary scheme, to enable children from all walks of life in Guernsey, to have access to an Elizabeth College education. It has been an extremely exciting time for the Elizabeth College Foundation with the first eight Foundation Bursary students starting at College in September 2021 and the opening of Perrot Court in February 2023.

We are indebted to the ongoing support and generosity of the Elizabeth College community.
