What is the Giving Exchange?

The Giving Exchange was successfully launched in 2005 as an innovative showcase of the inspiring work of the South African development and non profit / social profit sectors.
In 2006 the Giving Exchange will once again be held in September 2006 as part of the country's Heritage Day celebrations.

Members of the public and business sector will have the opportunity to visit these expos over three days in both Johannesburg and Cape Town to learn more about the work, achievements and resource requirements of 20 South African social profit organizations.

Because giving that makes a real difference is not only about the donation of money, the Giving Exchange highlights the variety of ways in which businesses and the public can interact with social profit organisations - including signing up for a Do It Day near you to volunteer a day of your time and skills to help a great cause.

Thanks to 18 highly skilled volunteer graphic designers, co-ordinated by Freelancentral, stunning displays will give you a greater understanding of the work undertaken by these organisations. Expo visitors will have the opportunity to meet and talk to their staff, and to explore new ideas for engagement and participation in the development sector.
Two high profile Giving Exchange expos take place this September:
  • 8th and 10th September in Johannesburg - Sandton City
  • 15th and 17th September in Cape Town - V&A Waterfront
The Giving Exchange is generously sponsored by Noah Financial Innovation's Broking for Good Foundation and enabled by the Fidentia Group
