About My School:

 

My School is South Africa's foremost school/NGO fund raising system, contributing more than R1.5 million to schools/NGO’s every month. My School was founded in 1996 as a social entrepreneurial initiative and is dedicated to supporting South African learners by creating sustainable income for schools/NGO’s, through a collaborative community support model.   The system gives you a vehicle through which to make a meaningful contribution to your children’s school and/or your preferred NGO in a convenient and transparent manner.  The My School support system is not a donation service, but a true partnership between schools/NGO’s and business partners.

 

How My School works:

 

My School facilitates schools/NGO’s support on behalf of a range of business partners who have a specific interest in education. The fundraising system is a partnership through which all involved strive to create a better future for learners in South Africa.  Currently approximately 350 000 individuals have My School supporter cards. Whenever these supporters make a transaction at one of the My School partners, a percentage of their transaction is allocated to the school/NGO they wish to support.  All these transactions are recorded and a statement of the transactions is sent to individual supporters on a monthly basis.

The supporter card is not a debit or credit card but serves as a measure through which valuable supporter data, such as transactions and funds raised for a particular school/NGO are tracked.

 

More about My School supporters:

 

My School has a large supporter base throughout the country. Card usage is the key to the success of the system. By using the cards at every opportunity, supporters are able to generate more funds for their beneficiary schools/NGO. Supporters can use their cards at a range of national, regional and local retail partners on the My School system. Some of the national partners include Woolworths, Engen, Walton's, Supa Quick, Tile Africa, kalahari.net, TSS Quicksilver, Jacks Paint and many more. A complete list of supporters will be forwarded to you on registration.
