Financial support from private donors has had a considerable part to play through each phase of St John's development: from the recruitment of our first eight Foundationers in 1852 and the move to Leatherhead twenty years later, to the building of the current chapel in the 1960s, and most recently, the gift of a new chapel window in 2009.
With your help we can build on this success to help realise St John's vision for the future.
Gifts to the St John's Foundation can be designated for specific projects or used at the discretion of the School. We will ensure that all money is used for the purpose for which it is given and in full accordance with donors' wishes.
We are happy to discuss naming opportunities with donors, where appropriate, although we will respect the wishes of donors who wish to remain anonymous. St John's has a comprehensive programme of stewardship for donors, including invitations to special events and publications specifically for donors. We keep donors informed about the progress of our fundraising and the projects they are supporting.
We hope that all members of our community will consider supporting the St John's Foundation. Together we can make a huge difference to life at St John's and to the education we are able to offer our boys and girls.
"St John's finances are tightly managed and controlled, so that alongwith carefully planned borrowings, we have been able to make major investments in our facilities. However, the income from fees, no matter how well managed, will never provide enough capital to meet St John's ambitious and necessary plans for development and for widening access to our School. The St John's Foundation is of vital importance in enabling us to achieve our goals."
