WAYS TO GIVE
Support the Pared Foundation
Pared runs independent Catholic schools across Australia, offering high-quality education rooted in faith and excellence.
Though we receive Federal and State funding per student to keep fees affordable, these funds cover only operational costs—not buildings or infrastructure.
As an independent school, we rely on your support for essential building projects and facility improvements. To continue nurturing an environment where students thrive, we need modern educational spaces, sports facilities, and specialized S.T.E.M. and Arts buildings.
Many of our current facilities, including decades-old demountables, still have significant loans.
Your annual or monthly gift, major donation, or legacy contribution can make a lasting impact on the future of Pared Schools.
All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Regular giving
Consider making an annual or monthly gift through regular giving. Using the EFT details provided, you can set up scheduled donations through your online banking platform.
Alternatively, families with children currently enrolled at one of our schools are able to set up regular giving through our fee payment platform Edstart.
Leaving a Bequest
Bequests, or gifts in wills, provide lasting support for Pared Schools. By leaving a monetary gift or a percentage of your estate, you contribute to the long-term future of the Pared community.
While caring for loved ones should always come first, a legacy gift can help sustain Pared Schools for generations. To put this in perspective, with Sydney’s median house price at $1.1M (2024), a bequest of 5-10% could equate to $55,000 to $110,000.
Supporting the Eternal Endowment Fund
The Pared Eternal Endowment Fund ensures perpetual support for Pared Schools and their expansion across Australia. The principal of each bequest is preserved, with the interest funding development projects such as building new schools, maintaining or refurbishing existing ones, and servicing building loans.
Contributing to the Eternal Endowment Fund means your gift will continue to make a difference for decades to come.

Tax deductibility
For one-off donations and regular giving (Edstart or EFT), at the end of each financial year all donors will receive a receipt for their records and for claiming at tax time.
