Our Focus

We focus our investment strategy on four key areas:

  1. Scholarships and Bursaries
  2. Learning Support
  3. Teacher Development
  4. Capital Requirements

 

How we work

We raise and manage funds through four channels:

  1. Fundraising - through donations, gifts and events.
  2. Friend-raising - through effective communication to the School community, including past students, parents, families and friends.
  3. Bequests - through communication and encouragement of those who are in a position to bequeath assets to the Shore Foundation.
  4. Fund Management - through the careful investment of the funds we receive to optimise their long-term growth and security.
