Our fundraising activities
Wellington College was created thanks to a generous act of philanthropy which continues to be essential for the ongoing development and success of the College. By supporting the College, you will be part of a broad philanthropic community helping to deliver an education that is unsurpassed anywhere in the world.
Your generous donations can be directed towards the Prince Albert Foundation (PAF) Scholarship programme which offers students with talent and promise but limited means a chance to benefit from a Wellington education. It can also contribute to preserving our buildings and grounds. Lastly, your donations can be directed to unrestricted funds, which gives College the flexibility to direct the money to the area most needed at the time.
As a supporter of College, you will become a member of one of our Giving Circles, which aim to celebrate philanthropy at College and create a community of like-minded individuals.
The Prince Albert Foundation Scholarship programme offers the life-changing opportunity that a Wellington education provides to many more young people with talent and ambition who simply cannot afford the fees.

Thank you so much for making Welly Giving Week 2023 such a wonderful success! Your incredible support means we are able to offer 16 more young people a life-changing Prince Albert Scholarship. This is an incredible achievement and will change the lives of these young people, their families, friends, and the wider Wellington Community.
The Kingsleys Society is our OW giving club. We hope that all OWs continue a long-standing tradition of giving something back to Wellington, and will feel a sense of pride to do so and be part of something very important.
