Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) Helpline – South Africa

Country

South Africa

Programme Summary

This is a helpline that aims to provide information and advice to NGOs and CBOs in South Africa. The project provides information ranging from relevant development institutions to information on funders.

Interfund, with assistance from the European Union, launched the NPO helpline to provide callers from NPOs with a range of information and details to assist their organisations to better manage and support their activities.

Communication Strategies

The service provides NGOs, CBOs and NPOs with information that includes:

  • Contact details of and information on important NPO regulatory institutions, including the Department of Social Development NPO Directorate, SARS, the Registrar of Companies etc.
  • Contact details for NPO donors and referrals to information on donors active in South Africa.
  • An overview of the procedures for registration of NPOs, and referral of necessary application details and formats.
  • Provision of easy to use formats and systems for NPOs to use in their operations and planning.
  • Assistance with EU grantmaking and procurement modalities.

The helpline number is 0860676463 and is monitored during normal working hours, and operates on a national "sharecall" basis (that is, the cost of a local call to the caller). The operators are familiar with NPO environment, and will respond immediately to queries wherever possible. More complex requests and queries are responded to within 3 working days.
