Year-end giving
Section 18A Donations: Reduce Your Tax While Keeping Children Safe
As your financial year-end approaches, a Section 18A donation is a legitimate, SARS-compliant way to reduce your company’s taxable income while creating real, local impact.
Malachi Place of Safety (NPO 062-457, PBO 930032139) gives children removed from unsafe homes full-time care: a bed, daily meals, schooling support, clothing, emotional care and stability at the most critical time of their lives. Most of what they need comes from donors, so corporate partners are what keep that care consistent.
Planning your Section 18A allocation? Talk to us about a once-off year-end gift or a structured monthly CSI partnership.
