Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: The PRG Foundation’s Impact in 2024

Die PRG-stigting se 2024-verslag beklemtoon sy toewyding tot die bemagtiging van talentvolle jongmense, veral uit minderbevoorregte agtergronde, deur sport, akademie en leierskapsontwikkeling by Paul Roos Gimnasium (PRG). Altesame R1,7 miljoen is gebruik vir gemeenskapsontwikkelingsprojekte. Beursontvangers het uitgeblink in leierskap, sport en akademie.  Holistiese ontwikkeling word bevorder deur middel van die stigting se Skole-evaluasiepaneel, noue samewerking met ouers en PRG-personeel, en strategiese vennootskappe soos met die Forward Foundation.

Befondsingsinisiatiewe, insluitend die jaarlikse Stigting-ete en die PRG Talent Funder, verskaf volhoubare ondersteuning, terwyl sy nie-winsgewende status bydraers in staat stel om voordeel uit BBBEE-punte en CSI-krediete te trek. As deel van ‘n breër ondersteuningsnetwerk, bly die PRG-stigting daarop gefokus om toekomstige leiers te kweek en verwelkom dit bydraes om sy missie volhoubaar te ondersteun.

The recently released PRG Foundation’s 2024 Report showcases its commitment to developing talented youth, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, through sport, academics, and leadership initiatives at Paul Roos Gymnasium (PRG).

With R1.7 million allocated in 2024, the Foundation funded professional coaching, hostel accommodation, scholarships, and community development projects, ensuring bursary recipients thrived in various disciplines. Notable achievements include:

– Leadership: All four Grade 11 bursary holders secured positions on the 2025 PRG Student Council.

– Sports: Bursary holders excelled in rugby and golf, contributing to top national rankings and earning selections for elite teams, including the SA Schools u19 rugby squad.

– Academics: All matric bursary holders passed their Senior Certificate exams, paving the way for higher education and professional growth.

The Foundation employs a Scholar Evaluation Dashboard to track academic, sporting, and personal progress, fostering holistic development. Parent engagement and collaboration with PRG staff further strengthen student support.

Funding initiatives such as the annual Foundation Dinner and the PRG Talent Funder, a JSE-listed investment product, ensure sustainable financial backing. Operating as a tax-exempt non-profit, the Foundation provides donors with BBBEE points and CSI credits, creating added value for contributors.

As part of a broader support network, including the Paul Roos Old Boys Union, the Paul Roos 150 Trust Fund, and Klub 1000, the Foundation continues to empower youth and cultivate future leaders. Contributions are welcomed to sustain its mission and expand outreach through partnerships like the Forward Foundation.

The PRG Foundation stands as a testament to the power of education, sport, and mentorship in shaping young lives for success. Click here to see the full report.
