Fundraising innovation: Fortunate 500
Monday, October 14th 2013
LEAP Science and Maths Schools, with the help of The ELMA Foundation, have created an innovative fundraising initiative that enables individuals and companies to double their donation and join the ranks of the FORTUNATE 500.
Businesses and entrepreneurs dream about making the ‘Fortune 500’ list. Now there’s a new club in town that’s more about what you do with your fortune, rather than how much you make.
The LEAP FORTUNATE 500 club is for business leaders who want to pass their good fortune on to the next generation.
LEAP Science & Maths Schools in the Western Cape, Limpopo and Gauteng provide a high-quality, no-fee education to 800 students from disadvantaged backgrounds every year. LEAP relies on companies and individuals with vision and passion to continue educating South Africa’s future leaders and advocate for systemic change to the country’s failing education system.
To join LEAP’s Fortunate 500 club, new corporate or individual donors must make a minimum R500,000 donation to LEAP Science & Maths Schools. The ELMA Foundation will match new donations of R500,000 or more – Rand for Rand – to support LEAP’s ongoing sustainability.
This turns a Fortunate 500 club donation into R1 million for education in South Africa. How fortunate is that?
