Maritzburg College settled at its current location in 1888, and since then has developed into a school campus full of history and heritage, complete with facilities that match those of the most well-resourced schools in SA. However, like any progressive organisation, we will need to continue to make new investments in the campus. To this end, it is essential that we continue to build a capital reserve fund to finance future developments and ensure that we can maintain these facilities.
There are a number of infrastructural and capital projects at Maritzburg College that require financial support if they are to be realised. These projects have been identified through an intensive strategic planning process involving the school and all its stakeholders, and a long term development plan has been put in place.
As one example, co-curricular sports at College have the possibility to produce a much larger provincial representation in all age groups across the different codes. For this to be possible, we need to be able to offer top class facilities in order to develop these codes further. We also need to preserve the heritage of our school, and keep up to date with the latest needs as they arise.
Any prospective donation tax benefit accruing to the donor will be regulated by the country in which the donation is made. The Maritzburg College Foundation is a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) and enjoys S18A status, which permits the issuing of donation tax certificates to South African taxpayers.
The Maritzburg College Foundation is also registered in the US (through Charities Aid Foundation of America), the UK (through UK Fund for Charities) and the Australian Communities Foundation, which enables taxpayers in these countries to make tax deductible donations to the Maritzburg College Foundation.
