Sponsor an elder

Frequently asked questions about donating
Is my donation tax deductible?
[Confirm Section 18A tax-deductible status with SARS and update this answer accordingly.]
How exactly does my money reach the elders?
Your sponsorship goes straight to the old age home caring for that senior, topping up their SASSA grant so the home can cover food, care, and daily essentials properly.
What if a senior's full sponsorship target isn't reached in a month?
Every contribution helps, even if the full monthly amount for a senior isn't reached. Funds raised are pooled and directed to where the need is greatest that month.
Can I set up a recurring monthly sponsorship?
[Confirm recurring/debit order payment options once PayFast integration is live.]
What payment methods can I use?
You can give via Direct EFT, or through our GoFundMe and BackaBuddy crowdfunding pages. Instant card payments will be available soon once our PayFast integration is live.
Will I get a receipt for my donation?
[Confirm receipting process, e.g. emailed receipt after EFT proof of payment is received.]
