Dilworth Trust Board
The Dilworth Trust Board is one of New Zealand's largest charities and provides the funding to support Dilworth School. James Dilworth left an original endowment of more than £100,000 in land and funds in his 1894 will. Since then, the endowment has been invested wisely and grown into a diversified portfolio of investments. Dilworth Trust Board still invests mostly in property, especially commercial property close to the Auckland campuses. It also holds a number of other investments including shares, both in New Zealand and overseas. The Trust Board staff manages the property portfolio, while professional fund managers are engaged to manage the non-property investments. All revenue generated funds the operating costs of the school and any capital development. Additionally, about 5% of the annual operating expense of the school is covered by the government grant provided to all independent schools.
