Foundation
We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us.
Venerable Catherine McAuley
Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta Foundation
The OLMC Foundation supports the College and the needs of our students through which contributions and donations are directed and funds distributed.
Foundation activities are focused on supporting the College’s Scholarship Fund, Bursary Fund, and the College Building Fund. In addition, the Foundation supports Capital Gifts programs.
Mission & Foundation Objectives
The Foundation was established to ensure donors’ funds are well-directed to financially support the College in its commitment to excellence in Mercy education, now and into the future.
There are a number of ways in which you can support the College through the Foundation:
Bursary Fund
The College has a Bursary Fund which offers support to families going through hardship. Your donation to the Bursary Fund supports girls in providing a Mercy Education when they would not otherwise be able to build their future.
To discuss donating to the Bursary Fund please contact Mrs Susan Giacomelli, Director of Advancement.
Capital Gifts
Capital Gifts allow the College the opportunity to look to its long-term future.
To discuss capital giving please contact Mrs Susan Giacomelli, Director of Advancement.
College Building Fund
The quality of our College buildings and facilities plays a major role in delivering a first-class Mercy education. In providing new buildings and in the refurbishment of older buildings, the College aims to meet existing contemporary and flexible learning with the latest technology. Your donation to the College Building Fund provides money to acquire, construct and maintain College buildings.
To discuss donating to the College Building Fund please contact Mrs Susan Giacomelli, Director of Advancement.
Gifts in Will
A Gift in Will is a wonderful way to celebrate your past while leaving a legacy. When thinking about leaving a Gift in Will, you might reflect on what your Mercy education means to you and how it has influenced your life. It might be that you wish your gift to be associated with a Mercy value, subject, sport or perhaps part of a capital works project.
To discuss ways in which you can leave your gift please contact Mrs Susan Giacomelli, Director of Advancement.
Scholarships Fund
The College offers four Scholarships: General Excellence Scholarship; Sports Scholarship; Performing Arts Scholarship; and Alumnae Scholarship. Your donation to the Scholarship program supports students excelling in an area to achieve their full potential. Ex-students may choose to donate to the Alumnae Scholarship which continues the tradition of a Mercy education.
To discuss donating to the Scholarships Fund please contact Mrs Susan Giacomelli, Director of Advancement.
