    Building a Brighter Future for South African Communities

    The role of non-profit organisations (NPOs) is critical in creating a thriving South Africa. The sector works very hard to make sure that as many South Africans as possible realise their potential and access life-changing opportunities beyond their socio-economic status. The sector relies heavily on donor funding for its operations and needs to be supported to ensure its sustainability.

    Empowering Partners, Driving Change

    In recent years, HCI Foundation has intentionally developed its role as an enabler, facilitator, supporter, and co-investor with our partner organisations. As a funder, we do not have the capacity or all the expertise necessary to directly implement programmes in communities, so we use our financial and strategic capital to support the sector.

    Our reporting process

    Our reporting process follows a reflective approach. This encourages our partners to critically evaluate their implementation and ask the following questions:
    • What were the committed programme goals?
    • How did we attempt to achieve them?
    • What is the progress on the implementation of goals?
    • What were the outcomes of implementing the goals?
    • What was the impact of the implementation outcomes?
    • What was observed and learned during the implementation phase?
    • What will be done about the lessons learnt?

    Field Engagement and Capacity Building Initiatives

    We conduct national site visits to engage participants, strengthen partner operations, and connect them to opportunities. Through collaborations with experts like The Learning Trust and Masifunde, our Non-Profit Capacity Building Programme fosters growth and sustainability. As part of monitoring and evaluation, these visits allow us to meet beneficiaries, assess programme implementation, and ensure strong governance, risk management, and data-driven strategies for long-term success.
