Since our founding in 1928, The Community Chest has been granting funds to more than 1000 local non-profit organisations across South Africa. In the last year we have distributed over R37 234 666 million in funds from contributions donated by generous local individuals, Trust, Corporates, Estates and other investments. On average, we give support to over 150 organisations, annually. We also respond to unanticipated financial needs of local community projects, schools, individuals and emergency disasters when needed.
