Three pillars. One legacy.

Every LegacyLink programme is built on the same foundation — adapted to your school's identity.

Preserve

Honour the traditions, faith and academic culture that make your school unique. White-labelled to your brand.

Connect

Bridge generations through structured mentorship, graduation-year groups and shared experience.

Elevate

Amplify alumni success. Create opportunities, jobs and giving-back pathways for every generation.

The self-funding flywheel

Engagement creates revenue. Revenue creates more engagement.

Every leaver gets a 90-day free trial, then Starter (R45/mo — the price of a coffee) for their first 3 years post-matric. From year 4, alumni move to Connect (R75/mo) or Premium (R100/mo). Active communities attract corporate sponsors and recruitment fees. The school earns a share of every Rand.
