South African Donors

Tax Deduction

Kingswood College is a Public Benefit Organisation and has Section 18A status.  Bone fide donations (as per SARS guidelines) are therefore tax deductible. As a South African taxpayer you can enjoy a tax deduction for donations up to 10% of your annual taxable income.

B-BBEE Points
Should your Company be required to make Corporate Social Investment payments in terms of B-BBEE legislation, Kingswood College is able to provide the required documentation to satisfy the B-BBEE requirements. Learn more.

Through the Legends Fund you can give as little as R150 per month and know that, because of our collective giving, you will make a remarkable impact on a child’s life, who will in-turn enrich the lives of those at Kingswood, each and every time you give. Click here to learn more and sign up.

Since its foundation, Kingswood has benefited enormously from the generosity of Old Kingswoodians and friends who have generously left gifts to the school in their wills.

Like many Independent Schools, all improvements and developments are either self-funded or the product of generous donations from the Kingswood Community. Even the smallest legacy can make a real difference, and the Sugarloaf Society was established to recognise this and those whose generosity and love for the College result in them leaving a living legacy to Kingswood.

All legacies left to Kingswood are currently exempt from Inheritance and Capital Gains Tax potentially reducing the tax burden on your family.

How can I pledge a legacy?

Making a legacy pledge is simply a statement of your intention to do so when you complete a legacy pledge form.  To leave a legacy to Kingswood, please contact the Kingswood Foundation Office on legacy@kingswoodcollege.com

International Donors

To ensure that our current and future USA donors still have a tax-efficient way of donating to Kingswood, we have been able to secure the use of the Rhodes University Trust USA, their 501 (c) (3) trust in America, so that our donors may still take advantage of the tax benefits provided to USA tax payers while continuing to contribute to College. Contact us to find out more.

Kingswood College is in the process of establishing a UK Charity to facilitate giving in the region. Please reach out to the FOuntaion Office shouldyou wish to know the status of registration.

Sponsorship Opportunities

To meet the needs of a developing and progressive school Kingswood relies on the support of the wider community. Sponsorships play an important role in complementing the funds raised to enrich the lives of the pupils and their experiences at Kingswood, and in many instances help defray costs for parents whose children represent the school at higher levels.

Should you wish to learn more about the Sponsorship opportunities available at Kingswood, please get in touch with the Foundation Office.
