A FAR-REACHING LEGACY THAT BENEFITS GENERATIONS OF GIRLS
The Foundation contributes to Financial Assistance, Transformation Trust and Capital Projects. A benefactor is able to contribute to any, or all, of these areas. Since the 1970s, the Foundation has made a big impact on the school and has been responsible for the following:
Unlike many other schools, Financial Assistance is not awarded from the school fees paid by parents. Every year the Trustees agree to award a certain percentage of the income generated from the assets of the Foundation to the school, to cover financial support to girls that would otherwise not have the opportunity of going to the College. St Anne’s focuses on creating an excellent, balanced and globally relevant education for all girls irrespective of race or income level.
- Over the past 22 years the Foundation has assisted 1564 girls to attend the College.
- Over the past 18 years the Foundation has given R106 877 878 towards Financial Assistance.
In 2012, a specific Trust was registered to ensure that income generated from donated funds is used for the sole purpose of supporting and developing black people in the area of education. Those contributing to this Trust can receive B.B.B.E.E. points for their business scorecard. No less than 75% of the donations are used for educational purposes at the College.
The Foundation provides the funding for capital projects, supporting the on-going expansion of St Anne’s exceptional facilities. All Foundation funds are invested with a reputable and highly credible Investment Management Firm. The Foundation has granted or loaned funds for the following capital projects in the last few years:
- Drama Theatre
