How you can get involved
Become a funding partner
In 2012, the Business Trust made a founding donation of R117-million to Vumelana.
Other than this, our work is largely dependent on funding by donor organisations and foundations that support the work we do.
WHY FUND VUMELANA
Support land reform communities
- Successful land reform is required for the development of a cohesive and productive society.
- For land reform to succeed, partnerships are required that attract investment and improve the lives of the beneficiaries.
- If an agreement is reached funds are recovered from the commercial partners and reapplied to develop the participating communities. Go to Our partnership model for more detail on our model.
- There are however two funding gaps.
- The transaction fees recovered from commercial partners do not cover the full cost of supporting the community in the transaction.
- Funds used for community capacity building cannot be recovered and result in a net drain on Vumelana resources.
- The funding gaps must be filled by donations if support to communities is to be maintained.
- Donations are tax-deductible.
