Legacy giving is one of the most meaningful forms of benefaction. You are remembering and supporting the causes closest to your heart and committing a lasting gift to the School.
By leaving a gift in your will to the Gresham’s Foundation, you are playing a vital role in the future of the School, helping to ensure Gresham’s remains a leading educational institution that provides opportunities to young people whose families require financial support.
Please consider leaving a gift to Gresham’s.
AREAS TO SUPPORT
When leaving a gift to the Gresham’s Foundation (registered charity No. 1109441), you can decide whether your support is unrestricted (to be used at the School’s discretion), goes towards the endowment, or should be directed to an area of the school or specific charitable objective that is most important to you. You may wish to donate towards the bursary programme, the Chapel, Music, Sport or one of the houses at Gresham’s, for example.
WELCOME TO THE SIR JOHN GRESHAM SOCIETY
By remembering Gresham’s in your will, you will be welcomed into the Sir John Gresham Society, which recognises donors who have committed to supporting the School in such a way. Every two years Gresham’s hosts a lunch in Big School to thank all Sir John Gresham Society members for their lasting gift. Society members will also receive invitations to other special events in School each year.

“One of Gresham’s strengths is its emphasis on drawing out each pupil’s talents, whether they be academic, sporting, artistic or musical. It doesn’t try to fit every one of its pupils into some “mould”. Rather, boys and girls are helped and encouraged to bring out their individual flair. Added to that is the delightful setting, in 160 acres of North Norfolk countryside! I’m happy to think that my bequest will, in some small way, help more young boys and girls to gain the wonderful start in life that
Gresham’s gave me.”
David Shove – Farfield ’64 & member of The Sir John Gresham Society
