Our Social investment projects primarily seek to build partnerships between Blendcor community organisations, surrounding communities, educational institutions and local authorities.
Only initiatives that are conducted by established fundraising, educational or structured community organisations within the focus areas will be considered. Such organisations must demonstrate that the initiative meets the criteria of this policy. The attached social investment application form will assist in doing this.
Our Corporate Social Investment to Our Employees’ Families:
Educational Assistance Programme
TERTIARY EDUCATION OF CHILDREN OF EMPLOYEES
At its discretion, the company may provide financial assistance to employees for the tertiary education of their dependent children at a recognised University, Technikon or Training College, or other recognised educational institution.
A minimum learning period will not be less than 12 months in duration and may not exceed four years in duration.
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLING
Assistance will be given to Blendcor employees for primary school and high school education of their children. This does not apply to tertiary education for which there is a separate assistance scheme.
