Donation Process

Requests can be from individuals or organisations.

We DO NOT fund attendance and participation at Sporting Events for those of working age.

Working age applications for non Sporting Events must provide all income details for the applicant (not their parents/guardians).

Please include the following information:

• Details of the applicant.
• Contact details.
• Details of the proposed activity.
• Benefits to be obtained from the proposed activity.
• A budget showing the full cost of the proposed activity.
• Any proposed contribution by the applicant towards the cost.
• Any proposed fund raising activity.
• Any approaches to other sources of funding.
• Any other material relevant to the request.
• The amount requested of Centrecorp Foundation.

Applications for 2026 School Tuition Fees require 2025 Semester 2 Reports to be supplied. 

TUITION

• Maximum of $10,000 tuition paid per school year.
• Payment made towards cost of tuition – no capital levy, P&F levy, building levy, boarding, excursions and camps.
• Payment made for tuition includes current and future Terms, but no past Terms or prior years.
• Absence exceeding 10 days in a Semester or 20 days in Year requires explanation.
• Household Income: $0 - $149,000 = 100%, $150,000 - $199,000 = 80%, >$200,000 = nil

Note: Household Income is not just for tuition its used for all applications received!

The Centrecorp Foundation Board meets approximately monthly. Applications close 10 days before the Board Date to allow for distribution of Board Papers.

It is unlikely that requests for funding by a previous successful applicant will be considered unless the previous application has been acquitted.
