Education

From foundation phase to tertiary education, our comprehensive investment in education enables the youth of South Africa to realise their potential and to be equipped to be able to contribute towards the economic development of their country.

Close

Tertiary Bursary Programme

The Fund has identified a pressing need for greater access to tertiary education among financially deserving students who show strong academic potential. The Fund has therefore partnered with reputable bursary service providers to offer access to education, as well as providing extensive mentorship and support to the students.

The bursary programme focuses on the provision of funds for students studying commerce and science degrees. There is no work-back or pay-back condition on the bursaries; these funds are a pure investment by FNB towards developing future leaders.

It provides both full and partial bursaries open to any South African citizen wishing to study a full-time undergraduate degree at recognised universities around the country. Preference is given to financially disadvantaged students with academic potential.

Students need to contact the bursary service providers directly for more information on how to apply.

Primary Education Programme

The Primary Education Programme only begun in 2013. The move into the primary education space was informed by the desire to fill the gap in education investment within the FirstRand Foundation education investment.

The programme focuses on teacher training, school management development and addressing barriers to learning such as disability, nutrition, poverty. Twenty Schools in Kwa-Zulu Natal and a further twenty in the Free State province are currently being supported by the FNB fund.

Early childhood development

The FNB Fund recognises the link between an environment that facilitates the holistic development of children and growing healthy citizens. For this reason, the Fund is investing in increasing access to early childhood development (ECD) sites and in strengthening and building capacity within the ECD sector.

Reputable non-governmental ECD organisations are partnered with to train ECD practitioners and increase the skills base in the sector. The Fund also facilitates knowledge sharing and skills transfer within the sector.

Hospice

The FNB Fund Hospice Programme was established in 2006 following much research in the area of HIV/AIDS and the available support structures in the healthcare sector.

The FNB Fund supports best practice and sustainable local level hospices across the country in order to promote an improved quality of life and to restore the dignity to people infected and affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and other life-threatening diseases.

Close

Community care

The FNB Fund aims to promote safer communities, support victims of gender-based violence and protect vulnerable children. The Fund partners with reputable non-profit organisations in the fields of crime prevention, prevention of violence against women and child welfare.

Young offender rehabilitation, the empowerment of victims of gender-based violence and holistic care and support for abused, orphaned and neglected children are some of the initiatives supported.

The Fund is consistently aware of the development landscape and targets its strategies to align with national objectives. In line with this, it is currently mainstreaming disability across its programmes. It is also focusing on three other cross-cutting areas namely knowledge sharing, capacity building and partnerships. There is also a strong focus on monitoring and evaluation in order to assess impact and inform the current and future strategies. The FNB Fund seeks to support good and best practice models, and encourage innovation.

Making South Africa a better place

Our approach

Serving the community

In line with the vision of being a great business helping to create a better world, First National Bank (FNB) views its role within the country as going way beyond that of a major player in the business environment. A big focus for many years has been on adopting initiatives that will make South Africa a better place for all.

A major element in achieving the goal of helping to create a better world is the work of the FNB Fund. The FNB Fund is a significant part of the FirstRand Foundation, which has a sixteen-years history of giving to the community. The Foundation focuses on the development and empowerment of the broader community through partnerships with best practice non-profit organisations nationwide.

A programmatic approach to giving was introduced in 2007 to streamline the Foundation's focus areas. This approach has resulted in more well thought-out and meaningful giving as attention is directed to identified strategic focus areas. The new approach will ensure that we make a greater impact on our focus areas.
