The Jimeloyo Fund
Since the establishment of our Foundation in 2011, we have been blessed by the
goodwill and financial support of the Maritzburg College Community to sustain our
operations and financial contributions to Maritzburg College.

Our dream was that it should be possible for every College Old Boy and Supporter to
be able to invest in the future of our great school. We recognize the fact that not all
Old Boys and Supporters are in a position to pledge a substantial lump sum
contribution, hence the various categories ranging from Bronze to Prestige allowing
pledges and donations of varying values and payment options.
Notwithstanding our shift of focus to the Alan Paton Memorial Scholarship Fund and
the Heritage Capital Fund, we continue to offer every passionate member of the
Maritzburg College Family the opportunity of helping change lives and shape futures
through this social impact initiative which we have appropriately named the Jimeloyo
Fund.
To many College stalwarts, the term “Jimeloyo-Ji” is recognized as a call to arms! It is
used to rouse and inspire our sportsmen and learners and stirs the blood of every
College supporter.
The iconic Jimeloyo statue on the Forder Oval at College depicts a young Maritzburg
College boy in the throes of launching his basher skyward, filled with youthful vigour
and passion. The Jimeloyo Fund offers you the opportunity to pledge your support in
any of the available categories starting from as little as R10 000. The monthly payment
option makes an investment in Maritzburg College possible for all prospective donors.
Lump sum payments are also possible.
These funds are used to support existing and new bursaries, growing our endowment
fund and providing ad-hoc support to Maritzburg College for a range of smaller and
more immediate projects.
