Funded Projects
Legacy Foundation has awarded over $1.5 million in grants since its inception. We could not achieve our mission – to inspire people and mobilize resources to strengthen the communities where our group of companies operate, we want to make a massive positive impact that will leave a lasting impression – without the dedication and work of our partners.
Supporting our partners who are doing smart, innovative work through strategic grant making is key to our success. We continue to seek fresh approaches that tackle emerging problems and capitalize on opportunities to help projects and programmes come to life.

Ellerton Primary School – New Growth Aquaponics & Farming Project – February 2024
New Growth Aquaponics & Farming Project
Project Goals:
The Ellerton Primary School seeks to improve and expand its existing agricultural science programme.
We are a small school nestled in the St. George valley. Their Agri-science programme utilizes an
integrated approach of the core subjects inclusive of science, mathematics, language and social studies
to cater to students ages three to eleven, inclusive of students from the Ellerton Primary Special Unit.
This approach allows students to develop and apply critical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving
skills as they interact within the various components of the programme.
These components include traditional crop agriculture in their shade house, container gardening and the
care and maintenance of our established local fruit tree orchard. Additionally, through the engage,
educate and empower approach their students are active in the daily care of a small herd of black belly
sheep and a colony of rabbits in their Rabbitry.
