The RAITH Foundation was registered as a Trust in March 2001. It is a Non-Profit Organisation and has tax-exempt status. The Foundation is privately funded, not politically affiliated and does not raise funds from the public.
The RAITH Foundation is concerned that systemic injustice and unfairness prevail in South Africa and seeks effective and lasting solutions, which address this at its roots. Since 2010, the Foundation has been implementing a programme of social justice grant-making. For the Foundation, implicit in the notion of social justice is the issue of equity and particularly equitable access to resources. Our definition is thus closely aligned to principles of fairness and dignity.
