Giving
It is through the generosity of the Georgian Community – alumni, alumni parents, parents, grandparents and friends of the College – that we are able to give boys the experience of a lifetime. Enriching programs in academics, music, art, drama and athletics help make for a well-rounded education that leads to a successful future.
Your generosity allows us to continue to make the Georgian experience the best it can be and accomplish our goals as a College. There are many ways you can support RSGC. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions.

“The resilience of our entire school community over the past few months has given me confidence in knowing that together, we are capable of handling whatever comes our way.”
From the Headmaster
A Message from Stephen Beatty '86, Headmaster and father of Jack, Class of 2022 and Finn, Class of 2025
The one thing that remains constant during these unprecedented times is that most certainly things are going to change. As I write to you today, our boys and faculty are back at the College.
The education landscape looks much different, but teaching and learning continues and our mission to know and love our boys remains our top priority.
Never has the “heartbeat” of the College been so strong - the outpouring of support, kind words and generous acts from our extended RSGC community has made a major impact on where we find ourselves today. We know that we never stand alone.
The philanthropic generosity of the RSGC community gave us the resources to transition quickly to alternate learning models and to make health and safety upgrades, so our families could return to campus with confidence that students would be safe. I am so very grateful for this. Thank you.
Today, I ask for your continued financial support of the College – funds needed to ensure that no matter what challenges we face in the future, our mission of creating life-long Georgians will continue.
Click here to see how your gift made a profound impact last year and allowed the College to pivot quickly to make the needed adjustments for the return to class this fall. Thank you for continuing to support the College. Your gifts as parents and members of the community help us to continue a long-standing tradition of funding enhancements to the College’s facilities and programs.
RSGC, Stronger Together

Manners Maketh Men Scholarship and Bursary Fund
The College continues to focus on the funding of scholarships for deserving boys who would otherwise not be able to afford an RSGC education. Named in honour of our founding Headmaster Dr. J.L. Wright, who proffered the “Manners Maketh Men” credo, this Fund will allow RSGC to offer admission to the best boys from all background, including students who would be an excellent fit for the RSGC family, but are unable to afford an independent school education. This year, six boys receiving financial aid have qualified for full tuition and related expenses; the most full-tuition scholars in the College’s recent history. -

Class of '71 Leaders of Tomorrow Fund
The Class of '71 Legacy Fund was established to support the College's financial aid endowment to ensure that our student body always includes students with special talents from all walks of life, continuously enhancing the quality of an RSGC educational experience for every student. To commemorate this Class's 50th anniversary in 2021, these funds have been redirected to create Class of '71 Leaders of Tomorrow Fund.
