2. SAAFoST FOUNDATION Two years ago SAAFoST announced the establishment of the SAAFoST Foundation which is a formally registered Trust regarded as a PBO by SARS. The SAAFoST Foundation has several advantages in that clearer, more transparent accounting can be done of the support given to students studying food science & technology. Members of SAAFoST can see that all SAAFoST surpluses are being channelled to good causes. The selection of bursars is more transparent and donors (either individuals or companies) have a clearer picture of how their donation is being used.

3. OBJECTIVES OF THE FOUNDATION 1.The main objective is to administer all SAAFoST academic prizes, awards, scholarships and bursaries. 2.The Foundation must endeavour to optimise the invested capital in such a way as to generate maximum returns but still meet the cash flow requirements relating to all awards. 3.To increase the number of bursaries that can be accommodated every year. 4.The Foundation must market the services that it offers to the food industry at large in an effort to increase the donor base. 5.In liaison with SAAFoST, the Foundation will make recommendations on the selection criteria and the value of the various awards and bursaries.
