Make a tax-deductible gift before 28 February and change a child’s life
Tax season doesn’t usually come with much heart — but this year, it can.
Before the tax year ends on 28 February, turn your tax into care for the vulnerable children at our Home.
Instead of viewing tax as something you simply have to pay, you can transform part of it into a powerful act of kindness — one that provides safety, nourishment, education and emotional support to children who have experienced abuse, neglect or abandonment.
Turn your tax into something that truly matters
When you make a donation to the Johannesburg Children’s Home before 28 February, we’ll issue you (or your company) with a Section 18A tax certificate, allowing you to reduce your tax liability while making a meaningful difference.
All donations are tax deductible in terms of Section 18A of the Income Tax Act, making this a smart and compassionate way to end the tax year.
Your generous support helps us provide shelter and stability for vulnerable children, along with nutritious meals and essential healthcare. It enables access to education, emotional support and therapeutic care, and helps create a loving environment where children can begin to heal, feel secure, and thrive.
For our corporate donors, your contribution may also earn valuable BBBEE points, adding even more impact to your giving.
There’s still time – but not much. With the tax year drawing to a close, now is the moment to act. The more you give, the more care you provide – and the greater your potential tax benefit.
But beyond the financial advantage, the greatest reward is knowing that your decision today can help give a child the secure, hopeful tomorrow they deserve.Please don’t wait. Turn your tax into care before 28 February – and help us continue protecting and nurturing the children who need us most.
