Our donations process
GreatetrGood South Africa Trust receipts and disburses donations to NPOs on a quarterly basis (March, June, September & December) and receives feedback reports from NPOs within four weeks of such payment. These reports are posted online and forwarded by email to you, the donor, when contact details have been provided. If you have elected for the beneficiary cause to be notified of your contact details, these details are shared once the feedback report has been received from the cause by ourselves. This ensures that GreaterGood is able to provide you with the information you need to have in order to experience the gift youhave made and know how your donation made a positive difference!
GreaterGood SA is currently working to upgrade and automate the receipting process so that you will receive immediate confirmation of our receipt of your gift. We are also establishing new contractual requirements for NPOs which will enable us to immediately disburse to them and provide them with donor contact details (where authorised) so that they can contact donors more timeously.
