Corporate social investment (csi) through supporting NPO impact partners

We provide a platform for corporates and individuals to confidently channel funding to organisations that are empowered to make a difference through corporate social investment. These NPOs or Impact Partners, have been evaluated on their ability to provide sustainable and significant support to the beneficiaries in their care. As a registered NPO, Community Chest provides donors with Section 18A Certificates, and B-BBEE Certificates are issued on request.
‍
Our grant programme covers children and family needs, entrepreneurship and education sectors as well as emergency needs and care for the elderly. Our loyal corporate and individual donors rely on the stringent assessment processes we implement, to ensure their funds are effectively utilised for good.
