About the Unisa Foundation

Established in October 2004, the Unisa Foundation is a statutory and autonomous body committed to supporting the university's vision of becoming the African university shaping futures in the service of humanity.

The Unisa Foundation, guided by an independent Board of Trustees, is dedicated to raising the necessary donor funds and resources to advance the institution's vision. Originally concentrating on corporate support for academic outreach projects, the Foundation's fundraising initiatives have evolved. We now emphasize broad-based partnerships and capital-intensive development strategies that align with the university's vision and mission.

Governance and Operations

The Unisa Foundation is governed by an independent Board of Trustees that plays an advisory role in shaping effective fundraising strategies and mechanisms. This board has the authority to represent the university and solicit financial support on its behalf.
