St Edmund’s College, Ipswich
has grown, over the past one hundred and fifteen years,
into one of Queensland’s most significant Catholic
boys’ Colleges. In the process, generations of young
men have achieved personal success socially, physically
and academically in a Christian culture.
The St Edmund’s College Foundation has been established
to assist the College Board in raising funds to maintain
and improve the facilities and operations of St Edmund’s
College in accordance with the Master Plan, and to develop
the broader interests of the College Community.
The Foundation is an avenue through which the entire College
community – current parents, past parents, old boys,
members of staff, friends and supporters – can support
the College’s aim to create a pathway of growth for
its students. This support will ensure that St Edmund’s
students continue to become those people who make a difference
in society, in whatever capacity they live and work.

Essentially, the SEC Foundation is divided into four areas
of support: Membership, Donor Program, Corporate Sponsorship
Program and the Bequest Program.
Membership
The Foundation has adopted the motto of “keeping the
tradition alive”. When the Christian Brothers College
Ipswich was opened in 1892 our forefathers would have had
little idea of what they where creating. In 115 years the
College has had many academic, sporting and cultural achievements.
But it is the tradition of everlasting School Spirit openly
displayed by all who have been involved with the college,
be it as a student, parent, staff member or supporter, that
is unique to St Edmunds. By becoming a Member of the Foundation
you will ensure that the tradition of St Edmunds continues
and you will be able to maintain or rekindle relationships
created at St Edmund’s.

Donor Program
If our boys are to surpass the expected, we must offer them
the best facilities available. The Donor Program, through
specific campaigns, will assist in financing major capital
works at the college. This involves donors pledging cash
sums that can be paid annually over an agreed period and
would be directed to a specific building project. By supporting
the Foundation, you are investing in the future education
of St Edmund students of today and tomorrow. You are invited
to make a contribution appropriate to your means.

Corporate Sponsorship Program
To enhance relationships between sponsors and the college
community, mutually beneficial business arrangements between
a sponsor and the Foundation will be offered. Opportunities
will be available to sponsor promotional items such as:
publications, web site, correspondence material and naming
rights for an event. Sponsors will be considered key partners
of the Foundation.
Bequest Program
Bequests to St Edmunds create a legacy for generations to
come and ensure that your association with St Edmunds lives
on. A bequest is a provision in your will that directs the
executor to dispense particular funds or property (eg. Land,
shares) to a nominated beneficiary. A bequest can be made
to the St Edmund’s College Foundation Trust for a
specific project of the donor’s choice (eg. Fund a
bursary for needy students or a scholarship).
