Local South African charities registered and operating in South Africa cannot be 501(c)(3) organizations. The Foundation for Peace in Divided Societies provides an alternative solution, however, allowing you to make a tax-deductible donation to a 501(c)(3) in the United States that will ultimately benefit causes in South Africa. We work only with the most reputable South African charities and partners and have strict governance and reporting requirements. While you may not be able to make a tax-deductible donation to South Africa or to a South African charity directly, this provides you with an alternative, allowing you to support an organization that for over 20 years has worked to defend the constitutional rights of South Africans and to promote peace and reconciliation in the country.
