Leave a Lasting Legacy of a Catholic Education
Deciding to leave a gift in your Will to the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) is a powerful and deeply meaningful gesture. It ensures that the gift of a Catholic education grounded in faith, excellence, and community continues to shape the lives of students for generations to come.
Your bequest becomes more than a donation. It becomes a legacy of hope, transforming the future for students who may not otherwise have access to a Catholic education.


Help children like Mary thrive
Your bequest can help a young child like Mary access a life-changing Catholic education.
Mary arrived from Syria with her family, facing many challenges—including learning English. Thanks to a CEF Refugee Bursary, Mary now attends a Catholic school where she feels safe, supported, and inspired.
Mary loves being in a school where she can pray with classmates who share her faith, and where creative subjects like textiles help her express herself. At the same time, she’s thriving in Maths because it challenges her in new ways.
Without the generosity of CEF donors, Mary’s educational opportunities would have been out of reach.
