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. We are delighted to be able to share with you our Celebrating Philanthropy at Wellington update.

Widening Opportunity at Wellington

Prince Albert Foundation Scholarship Programme

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.

Giving Week 2024

Giving Week is our annual event that raises awareness and vital funds for our Prince Albert Foundation (PAF) Scholarship programme, our flagship initiative to widen access to the amazing opportunities that a Wellington education provides. Thanks in part to the fantastic support during Giving Week last year, we now have 40 Prince Albert Scholars currently at the College and Wellington College Prep.
