Giving Report - a look back at fundraising successes
The Bolton School Foundation has a long history of fundraising
and was created through an act of generosity by Lord Leverhulme in
1915. Since then, philanthropy has played a huge part in the life
of the School.
Our Giving Report 2000 - 2008 looks back at
donations over the last eight years and shows all the strong
support we have received from our Old Boys, Old Girls,
parents, businesses, charitable trusts and other friends - it has
helped the School develop into the celebrated establishment it is
today. The report is available to read as a download at the
bottom of this page, but the main headline figures are that
since 2000:
- including all donations, promised gifts and legacies, we have
raised over £6 million
- over £5.2 million has been donated to our Bursary
Fund which has meant that last year, 1 in 6 of our
senior school pupils received some sort of assistance
- £850,000 has been given to various capital
projects over the years, including IT equipment
and Science laboratory refurbishments
- 30% of donations over the last three years
have come from Old Boys and Old Girls
- 30% of donations over the last three years
have come through legacies.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated over the years -
£6 million since 2000 is a fantastic achievement.
