For funders and partnersFund delivery you can verify. Build evidence of change.
A focused partnership route for corporate CSI teams, trusts, grantmakers and individual donors—with a defined unit cost, school-led scope and reporting pack shaped for your mandate.
Funding naturePhilanthropic grants and donations. No financial return is offered.
The investment case
A manageable pilot with visible controls.
Early-stage funding carries uncertainty. We reduce ambiguity through a narrow programme, explicit planning assumptions and agreed evidence before delivery begins.
A clear unit
Cost a shoes-and-socks package, a complete school outfit or a full kit before choosing the scale.
School-led scope
Need, dress code, learner identification and handover arrangements are agreed with the school.
Documented spend
Supplier quotations, invoices and actual unit costs replace estimates as delivery progresses.
Funder reporting
Receive outputs, expenditure, observed change, limitations and lessons in a consistent pack.
Partnership tiers
Choose a starting point. Shape the final scope together.
Indicative reach uses the current R1 034 planning cost for a uniform, shoes and socks. It is rounded down and is not a delivery promise. Final proposals use school scope and written supplier quotations.

Multi-school partner
Trusts, foundations and grantmakersCo-design a phased or multi-year programme with a stronger measurement and learning agenda.

Examples: R25 000 ÷ R1 034 = 24 complete outfits; R100 000 ÷ R1 034 = 96; R500 000 ÷ R1 034 = 483. Remainders are not counted as a learner reached. No beneficiary outcomes have yet been reported.

Corporate CSI and SED
Alignment without overclaiming.
The programme may align with education access, rural development and socio-economic development (SED) strategies. B-BBEE recognition is not automatic: it depends on the applicable codes, qualifying beneficiaries, evidence and your verification agency.
- Before commitment: agree intended SED objectives and required evidence.
- During delivery: retain school, expenditure and beneficiary evidence lawfully.
- At reporting: provide agreed records for your verification process.
No B-BBEE level, SED recognition or scorecard outcome is currently claimed. Discuss requirements with us and your verification agency before funding.
Tax and grant compliance
A proposal that states what is—and is not—available.
Section 18A approval is not yet in place. Donors should not assume tax deductibility. Where South African or international grantmakers require registered status, audited statements or a track record, we will identify those gaps at concept stage rather than conceal them.
- Grant concept: need, activities, outputs, timeline and risk.
- Budget: quoted direct costs and transparent operational allocations.
- Acquittal: expenditure reconciliation and milestone reporting.
- Tax: Section 18A receipts only if and when SARS approval applies.
Your return on impact
What funding returns—in practical terms.
The intended return for each completed delivery is a verified set of outputs and a disciplined learning report. It is philanthropic and social, not a financial investment return. We do not publish an unsupported rand-for-rand SROI ratio.
If a funder requires monetised SROI, methodology, data collection, assurance and budget must be agreed separately once suitable outcome evidence exists.
- Output return: learners, items, schools and delivery timing.
- Financial return: reconciled expenditure and unit-cost variance.
- Learning return: feedback, attendance observations and limitations.
- Organisational return: evidence for future funding and responsible scale.
Grant opportunities
Three ways to structure a grant.
Each opportunity starts with a concept and ends with an agreed acquittal. Budgets below are illustrative starting points, not open calls with guaranteed delivery capacity.
| Opportunity | Purpose | Indicative scale | Core grant products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founding school pilot | Test the full school-to-report delivery cycle with one defined cohort. | R100 000–R150 000 | School scope, quotations, delivery record, financial acquittal and learning report |
| Multi-school delivery grant | Repeat the model across phased school cohorts with milestone-based disbursement. | R500 000+ | Logframe, phased budgets, risk register, termly reports and annual review |
| Measurement and systems grant | Strengthen safeguards, data systems, independent examination and evaluation capability. | Custom scope | Agreed systems deliverables, safeguards, baseline tools and independent technical support |
Partnership process
Four steps before and after funding.
A clear decision process saves your team time and protects both organisations from vague commitments.
Fit and due diligence
Share your mandate, budget range, geography, timeline, tax or SED requirements and reporting needs. We share current registration status and available policies.
Costed proposal
We develop a school-specific scope with supplier quotations, activities, milestones, budget, safeguarding responsibilities and indicators.
Written agreement
Both parties approve the funding purpose, disbursement conditions, records, recognition, data protection, reporting and remedies for material variance.
Delivery, acquittal and learning
We implement against the agreement, reconcile actual expenditure, report outputs and limitations, and agree any next phase only after review.
