For the good of humankind


What philanthropy means at ELTHAM

ELTHAM has always had community at its heart. At its most pure, philanthropy is defined as the love of humankind, and this is the vision for philanthropy that the College is focused on embedding.

Our approach to philanthropy includes the altruistic offering of time, knowledge, goods, services, and funds to help our community prosper, and for the good of humanity. We believe when individuals or organisations are described as philanthropic, it says something about their character and values, far beyond a measure of wealth.


Giving back today, shaping ELTHAM’s tomorrow

From the very inception of the College, our local community and families volunteered their time, made donations, offered skills, and organised events to make the College a reality.

Today at ELTHAM College this ethos endures, and supporters of the College have the opportunity to help us to continue to grow and thrive through contributing to our Building Fund. Financial contributions to the College Building Fund provide invaluable support to the infrastructure projects of greatest need and impact for our students and staff. All donations to the Building Fund are tax deductible.
