Supporting Brisbane Girls Grammar School has lasting and life-changing impact—your gift allows the School to build a strong future for Grammar girls.
Girls Grammar was built upon a heritage of giving, with each generation benefiting from the generosity of those who went before. Throughout its history, Girls Grammar’s diverse community has remained united in its shared belief in the importance of providing girls an exemplary education, with the opportunity to maximise their potential and contribute to society.
‘Brisbane Girls Grammar School remains proud of our culture of giving back and the School’s important role in empowering girls and young women to contribute to our collective future’

Our Philanthropic Priorities
Brisbane Girls Grammar School’s philanthropic priorities are focused on four pillars essential to the School’s commitment to a broad, liberal education for girls. Read more about our philanthropic priorities below.
Girls Grammar fosters a climate of opportunity and has a rich history of educating girls from diverse backgrounds. Through Bursaries, the School is committed to offering the life-changing experience of a Girls Grammar education to girls who may not otherwise be able to attend the School. Gifts to the BGGS Bursary Fund provide support for needs-based bursaries and are fully tax-deductible.
Providing inspirational and engaging learning spaces is essential to support students to achieve their full potential.
Donations to the BGGS Building Fund contribute towards major projects to develop and maintain excellent purpose-built learning environments, such as the School’s newest facility, the Science Learning Centre.
Make a gift to the BGGS Building Fund and help us complete the Periodic Table in the Science Learning Centre. Choose from one of the remaining elements and have it dedicated in your name, or nominate your chosen House to support.
The Elizabeth Jameson Research Learning Centre houses a vast array of specialist resources to spark imagination and discovery, and deepen knowledge. Gifts to the BGGS Library Fund are tax-deductible and help Girls Grammar to build a collection of enriching educational resources to stimulate students’ curiosity.
Those with a passion for written works can support the School’s Library collection through a gift to the Adopt a Book program.
The School has a long tradition of encouraging students to train and perform to their highest potential in their chosen sport. Gifts to the BGGS Sports Program, through the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF), are tax-deductible. Every contribution helps to provide Grammar girls access to excellent sporting facilities, equipment and sports programs.
Including a gift in your Will is a transformative way to enrich the lives of future generations of women. After making provisions for your family and other beneficiaries, it is a chance to make a lasting gift that will support young women to thrive. The Sophia Beanland Circle acknowledges those who have provided for Brisbane Girls Grammar School through a bequest.
