Mark Headbush Foundation

The Mark Headbush Foundation was formed in Nelson Mandela Bay in 2005. The foundation is driven by its core values to secure a better future for all children and prepare them to be self-assured in engaging with their future challenges and accomplishments. Our Mandate is to make a difference in the early learning phase, focusing on learners from the ages of
0-9 years or grade R-3. This is our way of ploughing back into our communities, just as the saying goes, “Charity begins at Home”.

The foundation has managed to raise over R6 Million through the years. All funds raised
have been directed towards the beneficiaries, to improve the state of early education in
the NMB Metro. In a significant achievement, the Foundation has been approved for
Income Tax Exemption by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), as evidenced by
PBO Reference No. 930078016 and Income Tax Reference No. 9697840180.

As we reflect on the success of our Annual Nelson Mandela Bay Mayoral Charity Golf Days, I am filled with hope and gratitude. The inaugural events marked a significant milestone for the Mark Headbush Foundation, and we are thrilled to have shared it with all of you. The generosity and enthusiasm displayed by our golfers, sponsors, and volunteers have left an indelible mark on our organization.
