We conduct independent reviews of Civil Society Organisations so that donors can make informed decisions about their giving and social investments.
We are pleased to have over 300 validated Civil Society Organisations nationwide on our database.
Our newly launched platform, Validate4Good, is now live. Click here to find out more about becoming validated so that you can be eligible for more local and international funding.
The Independent Code of Governance for Non-Profit Organisations in South Africa was launched in 2012.
The Code is the first of its kind to be collectively developed by non-profits themselves, and the first that can be applied to the whole sector.
The Independent Code represents a statement of values and principles to which all NPOs in South Africa are invited and encouraged to subscribe. The code does not constitute an official document, nor is it imposed by law. However, it does make provision for a formal written commitment to its core values and principles of good governance.
Join us as we embark on a
journey towards a brighter future.
