This first edition of the Trialogue Funders Guide to social development in South Africa has been compiled as a user-friendly resource to help funders of social development, by simplifying the funding process and helping to make it more effective.
The publication collates expert research and analyses, including an overview of non-profit organisations (NPOs) in South Africa, guidance on how to select a beneficiary organisation, and the various ways that NPOs can be supported beyond pure cash giving.
There is also advice on when it is appropriate to establish a foundation, a guide to the tax consequences of donating directly to NPOs, and insight about how to determine the impact of a social investment.
These insights are complemented with a comprehensive list of NPOs requiring support, as well as a geographical overview of development sector activities.
