The King's College Foundation is the vehicle providing financial security for the future and its goal is to create a substantial financial base to ensure the ongoing independence of King's.

The 2023 AGM was held on Tuesday 25 June 2024. View the 2023 annual report and full financials here.

The College's Foundation was formed in 1980 when the Board of Governors was viewing the potential loss of 'state aid' (to private schools) as being a very real danger, as well as the threat of possible integration of private schools with the state school sector. In the decades since its formation there has been a change of emphasis for the role of the Foundation, with a focus on initiatives that directly assist the College. With financial support from our community, the Foundation has grown in terms of its ability to support the College, as well as placing its funds under professional investment management.
