TRUST NUMBER IT1088/18
THE BRYANSTON COUNTRY CLUB CHARITY TRUST
Bryanston Country Club has donated just over R3 million to 31 different charities since 2001. For the past few years committee has listened to requests from members that we should look at charity closer to home. In June 2018 we are now pleased to have finalised all the legalities and have formed The Bryanston Country Club Charity Trust. Being an official Trust, contributions are now able to be declared for tax benefits.

The Trust shall use all funds raised to carry out the following activities in a non-profit manner for the benefit of the Beneficiaries:
- promoting educational initiatives for the Beneficiaries for the purpose of enabling them to obtain employment and, in the context of Beneficiaries who are already employed by the Club, to further their career prospects, including:

A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY …. CONSIDER A MONTHLY DEBIT ORDER!
Fund-raising is hard work. We have a small group of volunteers that assist with organising golf days and raffles but if we really want to get this Charity Trust to grow so that it can really make a difference then we would be sincerely grateful if you could consider a monthly donation via debit order. From as little as R25 a month you can help create a sustainable fund that allows the Trustees to assist more people.
