However, there is another kind of giving, another kind of generosity where culturally we fall a bit behind. It is called philanthropy and it comes from the desire to promote the welfare of others by giving funds to worthy causes. The generosity in philanthropic giving does not arise so much as a response to an immediate need but stems more from an inner longing to make a difference, to help those less fortunate, to make the world a better place. It looks to the future and those that give know they are leaving a legacy.

A.B. Paterson College has a history of providing the highest standard of education to our students within an ethos of good character and community mindedness. Our Foundation was established to continue to provide this high standard of education and personal development to even more students who may not otherwise have such opportunities and, in so doing, change a child’s life and ultimately give them the capacity to contribute and help make the world a better place.

This can only be achieved through your generosity. I ask you… What is the cost of supporting a child’s education? What is the cost if we do not?

Mr Edward Klimowicz
Chair of the Foundation
