The Knox School established the TKS Building Fund in 2000 and the Scholarship Fund in 2019. The purpose of both funds is to support the needs of our students on their educational journey. Education is an inherently philanthropic endeavour. It is from the love of humankind that we devote our professional lives as teachers, and our personal lives as parents, towards nurturing young people towards adulthood. Due to the generous donations and gifts from our Community over the years, we have been able to complete numerous building projects to support the growing number of students, teachers and staff within the School. Whilst our Scholarship Fund is still in its infancy, its aim is to receive donations and gifts to enable us to continue providing opportunities for students who would not otherwise be able to attend our School.

Philanthropy’s literal meaning is ‘the love of humankind’. At TKS, we seek to foster a philanthropic culture within our community, engaging and motivating parents and friends of the School to collaborate with us so that we may give to many. Every gift is important, no matter how big or small. Every gift given makes a difference, directly benefitting the lives of our students.
