Support the GSB Foundation and get a tax benefit

By on February 17, 2022 in News and Opinion

Dear alumni and friends of the GSB Foundation,

Tax season is here – a time many of us complete our tax returns. If you would like to take full advantage of the tax-deductible amount for charitable donations, please consider us.

Making a donation to the GSB Foundation gives someone the opportunity to complete an MBA at the GSB, who might not otherwise have the means to do so.

Our work is only possible with the help of our GSB alumni and like-minded supporters of the Foundation. Your donation will not only benefit a GSB MBA student but is also a long-term investment in the future of the African continent.

We hope you can help us continue to build leaders building Africa.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Fasham
Executive Consultant
On behalf of the GSB Foundation Board of Trustees

Who we are

The GSB Foundation was started in 2016 by the GSB MBA Class of 1969. To date, with the support of alumni and associates of the GSB, the Foundation has funded scholarships for 22 students, helping them earn a world-class MBA. Three scholars are currently enrolled in this year’s GSB MBA programme.

How to donate

You can donate to the GSB Foundation in two convenient ways:

  1. Make a once-off donation: gsbfoundation.org.za/donate-now/
  2. Make a regular contribution for as little as R100 per month: gsbfoundation.org.za/get-involved/r100-month/.

The tax benefits of donating – from SA or overseas

As a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), donations to the GSB Foundation are tax-deductible. Are you registered for tax in South Africa? If you are, you can claim an annual donation deduction of up to 10% of your annual taxable income. If you are registered in a country outside South Africa, you might also be eligible for tax benefits. See details here: gsbfoundation.org.za/tax-information/ 

Why give back?

The mission of the GSB Foundation is “Building leaders building Africa.” The scholarships afford the most talented students an opportunity to benefit from a world-class UCT GSB education, regardless of their financial circumstances. Our aim is to nurture a diverse leadership that can play a significant role in building the continent.
