The Scotch College Foundation was established in 1988 to support the strategic direction of Scotch College through philanthropic activities.

The Foundation's first project was the development of the Multi-Purpose Hall on the Mitcham Campus in the 1990s and since then, through its Building Fund, the Foundation has helped raise over $7 million towards building projects such as the Webb Science Centre and the Rosevear Boarding Precinct. Through its Education Fund, the Foundation also helps fund a number of student scholarships to Scotch College Adelaide, to enable meritorious and deserving young people to benefit from a Scotch education.

The two main functions of the Foundation are to invest and allocate funds on behalf of the School and to raise funds to support and resource the school, now and into the future.
