Heritage Fund
What is the Heritage Fund?
This fund was established in 2006 by Epsom Girls Grammar School Foundation to provide grants to the school, students or staff for activities and items which will benefit Epsom Girls Grammar School and its school community. These are items and activities that are not funded within the school budget and therefore contribute to maintaining high standards and opportunities for which EGGS is known. Grants from this fund are usually between $100 and $400 each.
Who can apply?
Any current EGGS student, staff or EGGS student and staff groups.
What sort of activities and items have been funded in the past?
Individual and group sport and cultural activities/items, staff professional development expenses and facility equipment.
When can you apply?
Applications can be submitted to the Foundation three times per year.

Source of Capital for the Fund
The capital for this fund was established via the sale of Blend cookbook which was also produced to celebrate EGGS 90th Jubilee in 2007. Subsequently the annual EGGS Art Calendar sales have also contributed to the capital growth of the Heritage Fund. Any funds not allocated and distributed annually are retained as capital for the fund.
Grant Funding from capital investment
Grants are funded by earnings from the capital investment which is protected from inflation erosion by retaining and adding to the capital a percentage of the Fund’s earnings (a % equivalent to the published Reserve Bank CPI for the previous year).
