Philanthropy

Why Philanthropy Matters

At Toorak College, we recognise the transformative power of education, particularly within the context of an all-girls environment. By supporting our school through philanthropic giving, you are fostering an environment where young women can thrive academically, socially, and personally.

You are not just investing in education; you’re investing in the future leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow. Here, young women are empowered to explore their passions, voice their opinions, and pursue their dreams without limitations.

Your contribution to our school, no matter the amount, fosters an environment where young women can thrive, break barriers, and shatter glass ceilings, ultimately shaping a more equitable and inclusive society for generations to come. Join us in empowering the leaders of tomorrow by supporting our mission today.

Joining the Hamilton Society is more than a gesture of generosity, it is a partnership built on trust and shared vision.

Your story, your values and your hopes will be woven into the fabric of our community, creating a lasting impact for future generations of girls.

By including Toorak College in your future plans, you become part of a legacy that will shape lives.

Bequests have lasting impact; they ensure Toorak College can continue to:

• Provide exceptional academic opportunities
• Offer scholarships and bursaries to students in need
• Enhance facilities and preserve heritage
• Encourage innovation in teaching and learning

Your gift, no matter the size, helps build a sustainable future and continues the legacy, spirit and community of Toorak College.

How You Can Leave a Legacy

Every bequest matters. Whether your legacy is large or modest, it contributes to something far greater; the empowerment of future generations of Toorak students.
