THE DHS FOUNDATION TRUST

 

Dear Old Boy,

15 May 2015

Following the merger of the four different DHS Trusts, the Association, and the DHS Old Boys Club into the DHS Foundation Trust, membership of these former entities will now be referred to as the Foundation membership. DHS Foundation’s goal is to maintain regular links between the School and the Old Boys, including regular newsletters. In addition the Foundation is the new and single access for loyal old boys to support the school. The Foundation Website www.dhsfoundation.co.za has also been created to assist and keep old boys up to date on the current happenings of the school as well as dedicating news of the old boys of the school.

There are many challenges facing Durban High School and other great South African government schools today, and as the state provides fewer and fewer resources, the flourishing schools are those with enduring old boy support. It is imperative, therefore, to increase the DHS Foundation membership to make it stronger, both financially and in the academic and sporting fields. The foundation membership fee is exclusively used to supplement the costs of running the foundation and to providing bursaries. Contributions to the Foundation in excess of the annual membership fee are used for projects e.g. the refurbishment of Blackmore House or as directed by you.

The DHS Foundation membership fee is R600 per year or R50 per month. Any voluntary amounts in excess of R600 will result in the issuance of an 18A tax receipt entitling the contributor (including your company) to a deduction of that amount from his taxable income in the year that the receipt is issued. These additional funds will be vested into the foundations capital and used for foundation approved capex or as specifically directed by you.

DHS needs your support and contributions in the past few years have already seen the school’s results steadily improving under the leadership of the new headmaster and the support of the Foundation. Please find attached the membership form. We would appreciate you completing the form and returning it to Candice Herbst (cherbst@dhsfoundation.co.za)

We look forward to hearing from you.
