Churcher's College was established in 1722 following the original benefaction from Richard Churcher, which aimed to provide an education for ten or twelve local boys from Petersfield in the arts of writing, arithmetic and the mathematics of navigation.
The Richard Churcher Foundation was set up to continue the culture of philanthropy and community established by our founder by providing transformational bursaries to enable children to be educated at Churcher's.
Over 50 families are currently supported through funding from the school and philanthropic support from our community.
To thank you for your support, we have a range of unique opportunities to recognise those who make a cash gift or raise funds for the Richard Churcher Foundation.
Once you have made a gift, you will be contacted by the Development Office to discuss the recognition opportunities.
