MICHAELHOUSE IMPACT REPORT 2025 FINAL

HIGHLIGHTS IN EACH PILLAR

DRIVING FORCES: FUNDRAISING, DONORS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The past years have seen strong growth in fundraising: the Chapel renovation and Pew Campaign, the US Fund, annual Golf Day, and the growth of Chairman’s Club, have all contributed significantly. We have worked hard to build trust, transparency, and ongoing communication with donors showing how their support is applied, reporting impact, and creating opportunities for meaningful involvement. Strengthening our data systems has been pivotal in donor engagement and stewardship. Old Boys’ reconnections whether in the UK, USA, Europe or across South Africa have broadened both financial support and the reach of our community. Their stories about what Michaelhouse meant to them, and what they aspire for current boys, have helped sustain momentum and deepen the sense that Michaelhouse is more than a school it is a lifelong community. LOOKING AHEAD & GRATITUDE As we start 2026, the Generational Plan is taking shape. Funded places are growing, campus sustainability is advancing, CPT’s reach is widening, and our Old Boys’ support structures are being reshaped for the decades ahead. There is still much to do. Our ambition is to raise R1.2 billion for funded places by our 150th celebration in 2046 - to ensure a Michaelhouse education remains available - indefinitely - to deserving boys from a cross section of society. Our first milestone on that journey is to raise an additional R120 million by 2030 (we are almost a quarter of the way there on R27 million). Finally, to all who have given, advocated, and believed in Michaelhouse, no words can adequately thank you for all you continue to do.

FOLLOW ON INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OLD BOYS: We have strengthened Old Boys’ networks globally, in the UK, North America, and South Africa with growing attendance at regional and Gaudy Dinners, and other events. Data systems have improved to better track engagement, personalise communication, and build lasting relationships. Mentorship programmes, events, and follow-up support during tertiary studies and early careers continue to grow in strength and visibility. The next step is to expand capabilities and resources to help Michaelhouse boys transition into self-sustaining, contributing members of society. Our CPT has grown significantly, now operating in 16 schools around Michaelhouse and reaching over 6,000 learners. Programmes include literacy, Maths, edtech upgrades, leadership and teacher training, infrastructure support, transport subsidies, and career guidance. Donor support and impact continue to rise, with improved matric results and stronger learner engagement. 3 4 FUNDED PLACES: Our commitment to making Michaelhouse accessible continues to grow. The Michaelhouse Bursary Endowment Trust (MBET), supported by the Chairman’s Club, now supports over 100 boys each year (106 in 2025). The stories shared by these young men of growth, opportunity, and transformation resonate deeply. MBET helps bridge the gap so that talent, not finances, determines who can benefit. 1 ESTATE & GROUNDS: We have made strategic investments to maintain and renew our campus. Guided by the Generational Plan’s Estate Plan to 2046, we aim to preserve its rural beauty, enhance academic, sport, cultural, and boarding facilities, adopt sustainable practices (energy, water, conservation), and ensure the campus reflects our educational ambition. 2 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP TRUST:
