If you would like to help the University of Pretoria (UP) achieve its fundraising goals, follow this guide on how to make a donation.

There are two ways to make a contribution: through deductions from your salary (staff payroll), which is the easiest and most effortless option, or via an online credit/debit card facility. Staff will be eligible for a Section 18A Tax certificate and be able to claim a taxable income deduction from SARS.

Once you click on “Staff Donations”, you will be directed to the next page, where you can select a project that you would like to support. You can make a once-off donation or monthly pledges with a start and end date or with no end date.
