TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS

The South African government has recognised that certain organisations are dependent upon the generosity of the public and, to encourage that generosity, it has provided a tax deduction for certain donations made by taxpayers for certain public benefit endeavours.

A taxpayer making a bona fide donation to a section 18A-approved organisation, is entitled to a deduction from taxable income if the donation is supported by the necessary section 18A receipt issued by the organisation.

The ability to issue tax deductible receipts/certificates is dependent on section 18A approval granted by the Tax Exemption Unit and is restricted to approved organisations which use the donations to fund specific approved Public Benefit Activities.

The Weaver Foundation is approved to issue these certificates. Leverage off this incentive by making a positive impact while saving on your tax bill!!

 

Environment

“I am an African. I owe my being to the hills and the valleys, the mountains and the glades, the rivers, the deserts, the trees, the flowers, the seas and the ever-changing seasons that define the face of our native land” ~ Thabo Mbeki

We recognise that every person has a responsibility to the environment. Without respect for the environment – which includes respect for our companion and farm animals – there is little prospect of sustainable development. It is imperative to establish educational and practical initiatives to foster community environmental sustainability.

We hope to foster community respect for the environment by promoting waste management programmes; water conservation and education programmes; community greening projects and educational initiatives.
