Club Foundation

CMASA Launched the Club Foundation in April 2019

The Club Foundation seeks to promote transformation and fund the life cycle of employees working within the club industry, to assist them in achieving their career goals. The Club Foundation hopes to provide funding for the following key areas;

• Student education
• Employee Development
• Club Manager’s Career Development
• CMASA regional workshops

The Club Foundation’s role is to create a donor base of constituents that seek to further the knowledge and skills of those individuals that operate clubs of all types. The mission of The Club Foundation is to raise funds to financially support the professional development of people employed in the club through education, training and research initiatives. Transformation in the Club Industry is essential and as such, priority will be given to candidates of colour.

As funds grow, we will be able to offer more benefits.
