to the donor since what is good for our community is good for each of us individually .
Often , people donate not out of self-interest but out of a desire to find significance in the community .
Take the example of a student who goes through tertiary education and completes their studies through the assistance of sponsors , support and acknowledgement from members of their communities , educators and peers alike . Upon graduating and achieving the hallmark of being a graduate professional , they go on to work hard and establish themselves as a young professional who will ultimately establish themself in their industry . Upon reflection on their journey , they may feel inclined to let down the ladder for others to climb . And this can be through partnering and contributing to causes driven by organisations like the PPS Foundation .
Donating to the PPS Foundation enables greater impact and reach
The PPS Foundation was established in 2016 primarily to improve access to science , technology , engineering and mathematics ( STEM ) fields and contribute measurably to the sustainable development of South African communities through PPS ’ s ethos of mutuality and shared success .
To keep the “ nurturing potential ” vision and programmes going while contributing to the country ’ s sustainable development , we often reach out to the public and organisations to donate .
These financial donations enable the foundation to support students to continue their studies , educational institutions to facilitate lectures and recent graduates to transition smoothly from being a student to being employed .
For us , the fact that we continue to do our work and raise funds even in unfavourable circumstances and in the face of challenging economic conditions underlines the importance and urgency of our cause .
“
To know the ahead , ask those coming back .
”
- Chinese Proverb
We can only hope that those who intend to partner with the Foundation by donating towards programmes look at giving back as a civic duty , not an option .
Whether big or small , donations allow individuals and companies to claim a tax deduction on annual income returns since the PPS Foundation is a SARS-registered public benefit organisation .
You , too , can partner with us in our bid to make a measurable and sustainable difference in South Africa by supporting future graduate professionals .
