The Marsden Foundation is committed to the long term prosperity of Marsden and plays an important role in providing access to a high quality Marsden education for current and future students.
The Marsden Foundation
Our mission at Marsden is to empower young women to lay the foundation for lives of meaning, accomplishment, and purpose. Every day across our campus, students are challenged to think deeply, act courageous, and lead with empathy.
While tuition fees and operational budgets ensure the daily excellence of a Marsden education, it is the generosity of our philanthropic community that elevates the ordinary into the extraordinary. Philanthropy is the spark that transforms lives. It unlocks potential, breaks down barriers, and creates opportunities that reverberate far beyond our school gates.
The Foundation provides opportunities for our Marsden community to be part of our story, with donor generosity feeding directly into three vital pillars that shape the future of our students and our school:
Widening Access
Unlocking potential through scholarships
Strengthening Opportunity
Fostering innovation, world class spaces and specialist teaching
Supporting Ambitions
Building a sustainable future and enduring legacy
Whether you support scholarships, contribute to facility enhancements, join us as we tackle our ambitions, or remember Marsden in your will, you are playing an active role in transforming lives. Together, you help shape what comes next for Marsden and the leaders we send out into the world.
To our alumni, parents, past parents, staff, family and friends – thank you. We are deeply grateful for your belief in our mission, your loyalty to our community, and your partnership in empowering the next generation of confident, courageous people.
