Letter from St. George’s College Foundation Chair and President

St. George’s College Foundation was established in 1988 as a registered charity with Canada Revenue Agency to support the activities of Royal St. George’s College. The Foundation’s mandate is to raise, administer and distribute funds and/or the income thereon for the benefit of the College.

To retain our place as one of Canada’s great schools, it is imperative that Royal St. George’s College has an endowment fund that allows for a sustainable, dependable future for the College. This will provide a permanent financial foundation and put us in league with the very best schools. A thriving endowment fund with its accompanying financial security will allow us to continue providing the exceptional Georgian experience, now and into the future.

Our portfolio delivered solid returns this past year which was the first full year of results following the portfolio modernization initiative that started in late 2022.  With reduced economic uncertainty and market volatility, the portfolio generated overall positive returns of 8%.  For fiscal 2025, we will continue to review the investment portfolio and look towards opportunities to enhance the portfolio even further while keeping within the stated goals and objectives outlined in our investment policy statement.

Your support of our endowment allows the school to continue building a stronger and more diverse school which is one of the key strategic priorities of the College.  In an era of high inflation and tightening budgets, your contribution allows families from a breadth of socio-economic backgrounds to send their sons to the College and to become part of the Georgian community.

If you would like to view the audited financial statements or any of the policy documents of the Foundation, please contact Sundeep Bhatia.

If you would be interested in serving on the Board of Trustees, please
contact Stephen Beatty or me.

Creating an Endowment

Over the years, members of the RSGC community have chosen to give back to the College in recognition of the outstanding preparation that was given to them as students. Their wish is to give other boys the benefits of the RSGC experience who can't afford to attend the College. Currently, the College provides financial aid to approximately 10% of our student body.

For more information on setting up an endowed scholarship or prize, please contact Maria Jordan at mjordan@rsgc.on.ca.
