Marlburian Club Charitable Fund
About This Funder
The Marlburian Club Charitable Fund (MCCF), registered charity number 1063749, is a legacy-driven endowment managed by trustees of the Marlburian Club to support Old Marlburians—alumni of Marlborough College—their dependants, and the College itself. Established from generations of donations, its mission centers on relieving hardship, advancing educational access, and fostering community solidarity through scholarships, bursaries, prizes, and welfare grants. Core values of benevolence, loyalty, educational merit, and prudent stewardship guide its operations across four donor-specified sub-funds: Educational, College, Roger Heaford Daubney, and Common Room Funds.
MCCF prioritizes two areas: direct educational support for current and former pupils, including means-tested bursaries covering school fees, 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 the Marlborough College network—pupils, alumni, and dependants worldwide—plus College initiatives enhancing its charitable aims. Recent spending exceeded £193,000 annually on these targeted grants.
Eligibility is strictly limited to individuals within this community; external charities, organizations, or unsolicited applications are not accepted. Families apply via Marlborough College Admissions for bursaries (deadline: 1 July prior year), while hardship cases route through the Marlburian Club office on a rolling basis, with case-by-case means-testing. Grant sizes vary—no fixed ranges—but can substantially offset fees or provide thousands for welfare. Distinctively, MCCF rejects core funding, capital projects, or generalist causes, embodying a niche, multigenerational focus on one school's alumni welfare and legacy preservation unmatched by broader funders.
