About

The Cardo Foundation was established in 2016 to grow and sustain a philanthropic culture within the Citipointe Christian College community, to help future-proof the ability of the College to continue providing an excellent Christian education for students.

The Foundation, which oversees the College’s fundraising program, is presided over by the Board of Directors of its Trustee company, Citipointe Christian College Foundation Limited. The members of this Board are appointed by the College Board which ensures accountable management of funds held by the Cardo Foundation and appropriate governance.

Through the generosity of the College community the Foundation has been instrumental in raising funds for the Equity Scholarship Fund as its first project.

Vision & Mission

The Cardo Foundation exists to ensure future generations of Citipointe students enjoy an excellent education in continually improving facilities, and to provide a Citipointe Christian College education to students who would otherwise be unable to attend, through the Equity Scholarship Fund.

The Foundation is the organisation through which philanthropic financial support for the school is collected, and funds distributed.

From a grateful mum

“Our son was very motivated to do his best during his time at Citipointe after receiving an academic scholarship. Knowing that the college believed in his potential encouraged him to dream bigger and aim higher. In his final year, he was able to give back as Academic Captain and with hard work was awarded an OP1.
We would love to help other students excel and so have donated to the equity scholarship fund. We believe that the fund is particularly important as it also enables students to attend Citipointe who otherwise could not afford to do so.”

Past Parent and Donor

From a father’s heart

“As a Christian parent, it means everything to me, to now have my daughter attend Citipointe Christian College.”

“Through the selfless generosity of others, God answered my prayer. Because of their giving my daughter can attend a school offering so many more opportunities and resources. She is able to be surrounded and supported by people who share her faith and she is able to learn in a safe, loving environment.”

“… finding out that God paved the way for my daughter to attend Citipointe Christian College through the love of others’ giving was a milestone in my testimony.”

I was overwhelmed by your support on the Day of Giving during last year’s appeal. Over $60,000 was raised on the day and together with the giving from staff and the wider community throughout the year we raised over $150,000 toward our equity endowment fund. Due to this substantial generosity, the Board was able to offer the first equity scholarship to a wonderful young person who never imagined they could be a student at the College. Thank you for helping us achieve this goal and making such a difference in the life of this young person and their family – we could not have done it without you.

A special thank you to the donors who matched the gifts on the day. Together we were able to provide a gift of immediate benefit and also build a corpus of funds which can keep on giving in the future. Our target is to raise sufficient funds over the next five years to provide six perpetual equity scholarships.
