Corporate Social Investment

At Prescient, we took the saying “charity begins at home” to heart and this spirit lives on.

What started as an initiative to assist staff with funding for housing over the years has developed into the Prescient Foundation, a mark of our commitment to social upliftment.

Prescient’s believes that the greatest value lies in projects that can become self-sustaining and continuously provide support and upliftment for the community.

The Foundation is registered as a Public Benefit Orginisation and is the vehicle through which Prescient directs its commitment to development and empowerment. The Foundation invests in projects that educate, grow expertise, are entrepreneurial business ideas, and other socially-oriented projects where the return is both non-financial and financial.

The Foundation is funded by the group subsidiaries where a percentage of profits is donated each year.  In addition, the Foundation can be allocated or it can purchase shares in group companies or new initiatives where dividends will increase income.  Fundraising and other projects will increase the capital base thus funding opportunities over time.

Projects have included the Camdeboo Farm School project in Graaff-Reinet and Laerskook Paul Greyling Community School project in Fish Hoek.
