Fellow: $6,000 - $14,999

Associate Fellow: $3,000 - $5,999

Old Boys': $350 (a small portion of the funding generated through this membership is used for the on-going administrative commitments of the Old Boys' Society - the likes of posting the monthly newsletters to those not on email, advertising the annual Sports Day and the regular lunches and/or cocktail functions - along with allowing the Society to help with school trophies and in offering scholarships.) This membership confers Life Membership of the Old Boys' Society as well as of the Foundation.

One-off donations: these are also welcome and many Old Boys have made a donation as they contemplate a longer-term commitment to the Foundation.

The payment of pledges, other than the Friend and Old Boys' categories, are generally spread over a time frame tailored to suit each individual benefactor. Each Old Boy has his own requirements and the Foundation works closely with every individual to ensure their needs are catered for.

Pledges and donations can be directed to a number of areas including the likes of building funds, endowment funds, bequests and archives, and scholarships while there is also provision to make a contribution through gifts of property and rural support.

All donations are eligible for tax benefits. As of 1st April 2008 all charitable donations up to 100% of a taxpayer's net income will attract a 33 1/3% rebate.

All those granted membership of the Foundation become members for life.
