Community Chest of the Eastern Cape

The Community Chest is a non-profit organization that has played a central role in the welfare sector since 1952. Over the past 69 years the Community Chest spent working with communities, it has become an innovative solutions hub for all donor's interests. Our donors consist of corporate, foundations, individual investors, trusts, and estates. We pride ourselves on good governance and focus on ethical and responsible use of donor funding.  We understand corporate social investment and managing private and corporate philanthropy. For us that means, vetting and applying due diligence to the NGOs who are compliant, advising you which to support and why. Monitoring and evaluating their services and ultimately conducting impact assessments on your behalf to ensure that every Rand spent, makes the difference intended. Last year we assisted over 200 beneficiary organizations. Our focus areas are Education, Health, Skills Development, and Community Development.  At a time of a very uncertain economy threatening the stability of our country, South African businesses and private sector entities are increasingly searching for partnerships based on that all-important factor:  TRUST!
