WAYS TO GIVE:

REGULAR GIVING

Whether monthly or quarterly, pledging a gift on a regular basis is an affordable means of giving over a period of time and enables the school to plan its fee assistance to pupils. Gifts are received in varying amounts and when combined with the generosity of other regular gifts can make a significant difference to a pupil’s journey through the school.

SINGLE GIFT DONATION

Gifts of all sizes, be it a ‘one-time’ gift or an ‘every now and then’ gift are also welcomed and can have an immediate impact on a pupil’s educational experience or to the life of the school as a whole. Your gift can be discussed to support an area of your choosing.

A LEGACY GIFT

A legacy to The Trent Foundation is one of the most meaningful and enduring gifts you can make. It creates a personal testimony to your affinity with Trent and all it stands for. Unless otherwise specified, your legacy gift will be placed into the Foundation’s bursary fund in support of pupils in need of assistance.
