The Sozo Foundation is a Non Profit Organisation (036-344-NPO) and Public Benefit Organisation (930 013 534), registered as a Trust. We have seven fully functional trustees. The trustees oversee the Foundation’s work and help guide our decision-making process.
Please note: We do not make donations to any organisations or individuals. We are a non-profit organisation raising funds and donations in kind for our programmes.
What about Section 18A Certification Rights?
Yes! For all donations received, Section 18A Certificates can be awarded. These certificates can be presented to SARS for further tax relief.
