World Wide Fund for Nature South Africa (WWF-SA)(Nedbank Green Trust)

Written by Rachel Allies on . Posted in Environment, Social Development, Trust.

The WWF Nedbank Green Trust, founded in 1990 by Nedbank and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-SA), funds innovative projects to help solve some of the greatest societal and environmental challenges in South Africa.

True to our motto, ‘igniting new ways for people and nature to thrive’, we have, over the years, sought new paths, points of connection and solutions to ensure that people prosper. Our passion is for people and nature to coexist in harmony for the benefit of our country and the wellbeing of all.

The trust is funded through the Nedbank Green Affinity Programme, which has so far helped raise more than R300 million to support over 200 diverse environmental projects throughout South Africa.

South Coast Foundation

Written by Rachel Allies on . Posted in Foundation, Social Development, South Africa.

South Coast Foundation is a private family foundation that operates a grantmaking program in South Africa. With an underlying commitment to poverty reduction, our mission is to support vulnerable children and their care providers through organizations that offer services at the local level. Our guiding principle is “No impact too small”.

Given our history in South Africa spanning over three decades, areas of support have changed with the times. However, one constant remains. We consider community-based organizations as central to our mission. At the heart of community development, these organizations provide a lifeline to impoverished communities. They stand on the frontlines, as the vanguards of impactful, relevant, and innovative solutions. After fifteen years of focusing on orphans and vulnerable children impacted by the HIV/Aids pandemic, South Coast Foundation’s current grantmaking program partners with rural organizations that provide services and educational opportunities to vulnerable children (OVC) ages 0 – 6 and their caregivers.
