Funding guidelines

The IBT aims to go beyond mere grant-making and avoids duplication of effort but rather facilitates common-purpose partnerships in which the private, not-for-profit and public sectors collaborate on specific programmes.

The selection criteria for funding include organisations that:

are registered (or in the process of registering) as Non Profit Organisations (NPOs) with the Department of Social Development's NPO Directorate;
are registered (or in the process of registering) as Public Benefit Organisations with the South African Revenue Services (SARS), if applicable;
have been in existence for a minimum of two years;
address a real need in the community and can demonstrate significant direct impact;
have proven capacity to utilise funds effectively;
demonstrate innovation and sustainability;
have models that are scaleable and/or replicable; and
have more than 75% black beneficiaries.

The IBT does not provide support to individuals, private companies or businesses, political parties, trade unions or events and initiatives aimed at promoting any religion.
