Allan Gray Orbis Foundation
The Allan Gray Orbis Foundation aims to promote prosperity in an integrated Southern Africa by harnessing the transforming energy of high impact leadership and entrepreneurial orientation. Dr. Allan W.B. Gray epitomises the power of entrepreneurial leadership, which is evident in the business that he has started and grown over 30 years ago; Allan Gray Limited is today one of South Africa’s leading !nancial services companies.
Established in 2005, the Foundation seeks to identify, educate and equip Southern African’s who have the potential to excel and make a future impact. It is expected that up to 100 of these individuals, known as Allan Gray Fellows, will be drawn into the programme each year in a nationwide search and selection process from a pool of over 55 000 potential applicants.
The Foundation seeks to !nd and invest over a long term, in unique individuals who have a strong belief in their own inherent abilities and the future of Southern Africa. It is our intention and expectation that their individual vision to become change agents will make a signi!cant impact on the future of this region and this continent.
