Philanthropy

Whether through our inclusive educational support system, participation in after school activities, or engagement in weekly service-learning and sustainability projects, students from Early Childhood through High School are continuously inspired to give back. They advocate for important causes, organize fundraising efforts, and perform random acts of kindness.

As a non-profit school, ISKL’s only shareholders are our students. To fulfill our Vision of caring for others and creating a better world, there are countless ways to contribute. From supporting those in need and volunteering to making donations and inspiring others to take action, our ISKL community is dedicated to making a positive impact locally and globally.

Giving is not just about donating. It is about making a difference.

Inspire Campaign

Parents, students, alumni, and friends have all played a vital role in shaping ISKL.

Our focus is on building people – whether a student is with us for a semester or a lifetime, their experiences here help them on their path to becoming global citizens.

Some donations have an immediate impact on student life, while others benefit future generations. What remains constant is that every contribution makes a positive difference. We invite you to join us on this journey, where every gift counts.

Those wishing to support ISKL can contribute to the Inspire Campaign by directing their donation to one of its three funds: Inspire People, Inspire Places, or Inspire Programs.

Philanthropy at ISKL and other questions

Where is my gift going?

Why does ISKL raise money in addition to tuition?

ISKL is a non-profit school whose only shareholders are the students we serve. As such, through effective governance, a strong administration, and a committed parent community, ISKL has been providing our students with the best possible learning experience and environment, relying primarily on tuition fees.

ISKL needs the philanthropic support of our entire community to make ISKL’s aspirations for its learning environment a reality.

Have you changed the names of the donation funds?

In August 2022, as ISKL and the world were coming out of the pandemic, we decided to look into the structure of our donation funds and recategorize all the various historical funds into three categories within the “Inspire Campaign”: People, Places, and Programs.

The previous funds were carefully analyzed and recategorized to the closest category. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the recategorization of funds, please do not hesitate to contact us at advancement@iskl.edu.my.

What type of gifts can I contribute to?

Naming opportunities

ISKL welcomes conversations with families and corporations for whom a signature naming opportunity would be appropriate. For corporate partners, we can discuss a relationship that would involve signage and exposure for naming and branding (upon approval by the ISKL Board of Directors) and usage of facilities.
The vision is to ensure that our ISKL campus is available to the wider community in Kuala Lumpur and as such, wider exposure for our corporate partners is offered. Families may choose to name a space for their family or in honor/memory of a loved one. The iconic campus design will for many years, serve as a fitting and significant place for our partners.
Naming is offered for a period of 10 years, after which the school reserves the right to offer the naming to another family/donor.
The naming of spaces on the Ampang Hilir Campus is meaningful, and as such the ISKL Board will approve the naming of all spaces.

Through our affiliation with Every.org, US taxpayers can make a gift to support ISKL and receive a tax deduction for that gift.
While ISKL is a non-profit, it is legally registered as a Society, not a charity, and therefore can not issue tax receipts for donations in Malaysia. Any sponsorship or donations will be issued a receipt, but ISKL will not issue an invoice as there is no purchase of products or services. Furthermore, ISKL is regulated by the MoE, which only authorized the issuance of invoices related to tuition fees. Malaysian tax law does not allow local taxpayers to claim tax relief for gifts to ISKL at this time.
