Mission Statement
The American Friends of Grey Institute Foundation was established for the sole financial benefit of The Grey schools in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
About This Cause
The Foundation, through generation donations from Old Greys (former students of the schools) and corporate partners, supports the following objectives: 1. To enrich the educational experience for all learners and provide opportunities for disadvantaged students. 2. To offer financial support for existing or newly created programs, new equipment, or facilities and capital improvement projects. 3. To provide a structure to manage funds that Old Greys may wish to bequeath to enhance the learning opportunities for current and future Grey boys. 4. To inspire Old Greys, Parents and businesses to support the Grey schools through cash or gift in kind donations, sponsorships and advertising. 5. Provide annuity income to support: a) Bursaries and Scholarships for deserving pupils. b) Bursaries to Grey pupils wanting to become educators. c) Salary subventions for educators. 6. Create and grow an Infrastructure Development Fund to be used for the funding of infrastructure and maintenance. 7. Create and grow a Technology Development Fund to provide access to new technology in the classrooms. The Grey motto of 'Tria Juncta In Uno' is significant as it symbolizes Body, Mind and Spirit, which all represent the core values of our mission, and the funds raised will be disbursed in what we refer to as the 5 Pillars of Investment: Pillar 1 - THE BODY Representing Sport: Bursaries for talented boys, for professional coaching, tours and needed equipment. Maintaining existing, and providing better, sporting infrastructure to ensure all boys are able to compete and achieve at the highest levels. Pillar 2 - THE MIND Representing Academic: Scholarships and bursaries for disadvantaged boys and those of deserving need. The provision of teacher incentives by way of staff housing and assisting educators to improve their qualifications to secure their future retention. Upgrades to existing classrooms to provide modern and advanced teaching aids. Pillar 3 - THE SPIRIT Representing Cultural: Supporting Music, Arts, Design, Clubs and Societies together with bursaries and scholarships aligned to these interests. Promoting the expansion of these activities by providing facilities for the expression of these talents and interests. Pillar 4 - INFRASTRUCTURE and MAINTENANCE Government support is minimal in terms of capital requirements and operational maintenance needs for a campus that is 100 years old. Also, every opportunity must be explored to maximize effective energy and water use. Pillar 5 - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Support must be given to community programs and projects identified in underprivileged schools. Through support by the Foundation, Grey boys and Staff, others who are disadvantaged may receive a better educational experience aligned with that provided at Grey. The Grey Foundation welcomes donations large and small. Thank you for making your contribution and joining us in securing the future for The Grey.
