Donating
You can donate time and skills, money and loyalty programme points, second-hand or surplus goods to your personally chosen
Causes

Dreams
GreaterGood South Africa pays out financial donations on a quarterly basis and we take responsibility for ensuring that your donation reaches your beneficiary.
More importantly, our single biggest commitment to you is to ensure that your donations are received by bona fide causes who reciprocate by demonstrating the unique benefit and impact of your gift. This is the way we enable you to Experience the Gift that comes from giving.
To this end, GreaterGood South Africa provides you with a feedback report from your beneficiary so that you know how your donation made a positive difference. Causes have three months to respond to donations (except where these are funds for longer term use or for programmatic funding when reports are provided quarterly until the donation has been utilised) and their feedback reports are featured on the site. If we have your correct email address, we can then forward you your own personal gift report back to thank you for your contribution.
Your donations will be made simpler if you register and login with GreaterGood South Africa as we are able to provide you with a seamless service. By registering and logging in each time you visit, your information is automatically used to pre-populate the relevant fields which saves you the time and hassle of having to enter it all over again. Most importantly, if you are a registered donor who has provided us with your correct postal or email address we can provide you with your original donations receipt.
