Our Services > Social Investment Services

We provide an integrated approach to giving and social investment by encouraging dialogue and cooperation across all relevant sectors. We work with social investors and recipients to improve the management and impact of contributed resources. We offer the following specific services:

Social Investment Policy & Strategy

We consult to business, government and the non-profit sector to develop community investment policies and strategies. We help companies to meet and exceed their corporate giving objectives in a professional and tax-effective manner.

To support the increasing need for companies' social accountability in terms of corporate governance and BBBEE codes, we advise on social investment vehicles that will create greater value for companies and social enterprise.

Social Investment Management & Evaluation

We consult to business, government agencies and the non-profit sector to improve planning, management and evaluation of funded development programmes.

Corporate Community Involvement by Employees

We promote, manage and administer a variety of corporate community involvement activities:

  • Payroll Giving

We promote and manage payroll giving programmes through our ‘ Give as you Earn' (GAYE), programme. This provides a simple mechanism for employees to donate to a cause of their choice. Companies can choose to match employee contributions ‘rand-for-rand'.

  • Employee Volunteering and Matched Giving

We promote and manage employee volunteering and matched giving programmes:

Employee Volunteering is becoming an increasingly significant aspect of corporate community engagement, as companies demand new ways of increasing their social role. Companies can support the volunteering efforts of employees in various ways from paid time off to volunteer, to gifts in kind.

Matched Giving provides the opportunity for the company to match time or money contributed by its employees with a cash contribution to the NPO where the employees are volunteering.
