Established in 1986 , the Fort Hare Foundation Trust (TM 1120) is entrusted with resource mobilisation for the University of Fort Hare. It is registered with SARS as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO Registration Number 130000987), and therefore it issues Section 18A Certificates for qualifying donations. The sole beneficiary of the Fort Hare Foundation Trust is the University of Fort Hare. It operates independently under the leadership of a Board of Trustees. It prides itself with effective corporate governance and efficient systems.
Established in 1916, the University of Fort Hare has accumulated hard copy records that form part of the heritage of the University. These records are also national and global heritage. It is important to digitise and preserve this unique heritage of the oldest African Higher Education Learning Centre in the Southern Africa region. The records are currently at the main campus in Alice, a small town in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa.
