Through the generous support of its donors, Penreach is able to achieve outstanding progress in the development of an ethos of best practice in education via its programs aimed at developing and assisting schools, teachers, learners, and school communities. Some donors offer funding for specific projects within the Penreach operation so that their name is linked to a particular project whilst others offer funding to the Penreach programme as a whole. All donations are gratefully received and well utilized.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of Penreach and the replication of the successful Penreach model into other areas in South Africa, the Penryn trustees have established an endowment fund, the Shalamuka Foundation Trust. Shalamuka is a broad-based fund participating in BEE transactions. Any income from this fund will however only be released in five years time. Empowerdex recently awarded the Shalamuka Foundation Trust maximum points on the ownership scorecard and deemed it to be 100% compliant as a broad-based organisation, based on the Department of Trade and Industry Codes released in 2007.
