Gifts that give forever
Endowments: Support for the long term
Impact that lasts for generations
An endowment is a lasting source of support for Korowa students.
The difference between an endowment and a standard donation is that when you make an endowment, your gift is carefully invested, and only the income it generates is used each year. This means your generosity will continue to create opportunities for girls at Korowa not just today, but for generations to come.
Endowments can be made during your lifetime or left in your Will.
The confidence to excel
Endowments matter at Korowa
Endowments contribute to sustainable support, providing a long-term financial base that allows the School to plan with confidence, build capacity, and ensure that educational opportunities are available year after year, independent of annual fundraising cycles.
By making an endowment to Korowa, you empower us to plan with confidence, to innovate, to continue to seek better ways to educate, develop, support and celebrate our students. In short, the financial security provided by a strong endowment program enables us to excel.
Korowa’s Endowment Fund sits under the governance of the Korowa Foundation, which oversees a range of funds that support the School’s mission. These funds are used to directly benefit our students’ academic, cultural and sporting endeavours.
