How the Scholarship Fund is Managed
The Magdalene Scholarship Fund has a board of directors
but no paid staff members, no
overhead and no fund-raising costs. All work is done on a volunteer basis, and
all advertising is done through word of mouth and this website. Administrative
costs such as postage and wire transfer fees are covered by Mark Mathabane. This allows
the fund
to send 100% of every dollar contributed to a special, secure bank account
in 
Johannesburg,
South Africa
that is used solely for the needs of Bovet students. At the end of the year,
Bovet School sends us receipts, such as those pictured, and an itemized list of how
every penny in the fund was spent,
including the names of the students helped.
Unlike organizations such as Save the Children, the Magdalene Scholarship Fund does not have the staff or resources necessary to match donors with individual children and facilitate communication between them.
To request a list of board members, a copy of the organization's Articles of
Incorporation, a copy of the organization's by-laws or a copy of the 501(c)3
application, please email Gail Mathabane, Secretary and Treasurer, at gem@mathabane.com.
