The Development Department raises funds and ensures financial sustainability.

Funds are raised for: 

  • Building the WHEAT Trust Endowment Fund so as to sustain the grant making programme;
  • Creating space and platform for the public to promote a culture of giving and establish social and economic gender justice through seminars, functions, events, etc;
  • Building the financial resources for second level granting (seed funding) to further develop CBOs;
  • Mobilising financial resources towards WHEAT Trust’s institutional, operational and other programme costs.
  • Giving grants to grassroots women’s organisations nationally to access training;

  

WHEAT Trust receives funding from:

  • International Organisations

  • South African Companies

  • Individual Givers

  • Fundraising initiatives

We can help companies and other funds achieving their socio economic and women empowerment goals if they share our vision of women’s empowerment. Likewise, we encourage individuals to align with us and adopt the culture of giving to assist us in growing the fund, thereby strengthening our giving ability.

 

Corporates that are not able to support financially at a certain time are encouraged to motivate their staff to consider WHEAT Trust's efforts and give to the cause.

Women are society's strength. By empowering women, we empower whole communities.
