What is GreaterGood South Africa?

GreaterGood SA is a non profit organisation that works to make it easy for South Africans to make a meaningful contribution to development and charity work in South Africa.

Through its website http://www.GreaterGoodSA.co.za and various public call-to-action campaigns, GreaterGood SA makes it possible for both individuals and businesses to support bona fide non profit organisations in a range of different ways.

We believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute towards building a better South Africa for all. Our aim is to help SA citizens and businesses to find non profit organisations whose work interests them, and then we assist these givers in supporting the organisations of their choice in ways that make a real impact.
