Common Change South Africa brings people together to care for one another in practical, meaningful ways. Through shared giving, ordinary people are able to respond to real needs in their communities with dignity, respect, and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2016, South African groups have supported hundreds of individuals and families, showing how small, consistent acts of generosity can make a lasting difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are proud to share that Common Change South Africa has secured Section 18A status at SARS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an important milestone that strengthens our compliance, transparency, and long-term sustainability, and helps ensure that we continue to serve communities with integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this milestone comes increased responsibility and accountability. To protect our members, recipients, and organisation, the following practices now apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For recipients who do not have a bank account, we are able to offer eWallet payments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this stage, eWallets are not yet integrated into the website. If a recipient prefers this option, please:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This helps us process payments efficiently and in line with compliance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The previous 5% administrative fee has been suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This suspension began in late 2025 as part of an effort to streamline internal processes and reduce administrative burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Section 18A status in place, our aim is to raise R2 million over the next three years to strengthen communities, partnerships, and support systems across South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the heart of Common Change remains a simple belief: when neighbours support one another, communities grow stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, we multiply what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Darin<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Common Change South Africa brings people together to care for one another in practical, meaningful ways.
