marlburianclub.orgAbout Marlburian Club Charitable Fund
The Marlburian Club Charitable Fund (MCCF) is a legacy-driven endowment managed by trustees of the Marlburian Club. Its mission is to relieve hardship, advance educational access, and foster community solidarity among Old Marlburians—alumni of Marlborough College—their dependants, and the College itself. Guided by values of benevolence, loyalty, educational merit, and prudent stewardship, the Fund operates through four donor-specified sub-funds: Educational, College, Roger Heaford Daubney, and Common Room Funds. This niche, multigenerational resource is focused solely on one school's alumni welfare and legacy preservation.
What Marlburian Club Charitable Fund funds
The Fund prioritises two areas: direct educational support for current and former pupils, including means-tested bursaries, gap-year charitable projects, and enrichment prizes; and welfare aid for alumni and families facing distress, such as one-off or sustained financial relief. Beneficiaries are exclusively within the Marlborough College network—pupils, alumni, and dependants worldwide—alongside College initiatives that advance its charitable aims. Support is directed toward relieving hardship and fostering educational access, reflecting the Fund's commitment to community solidarity.
Who can apply
The Fund supports individuals within the Marlborough College community: Old Marlburians, their dependants, and current pupils. Beneficiaries may be based anywhere in the world. The Fund also assists the College itself with initiatives aligned to its charitable aims. Applications are not accepted from external charities, organisations, or individuals outside this network. Eligibility is strictly limited to those connected to Marlborough College, with priority given to those facing hardship or requiring educational support.
What Marlburian Club Charitable Fund doesn't fund
The Fund does not support core costs, capital projects, or generalist causes. It does not fund external charities or organisations, and unsolicited applications are not accepted. Support is confined to the Marlborough College community and its specific charitable purposes.
How they like to fund
