So what is Tekkie Tax, it’s a national fundraising campaign for a proud group of welfare organisations in SA, who came together for the biggest campaign of all time.
Tekkie Tax is an annual fundraising campaign for a large mix of carefully selected welfare organisations, schools and institutions in South Africa. NGOs which are accountable, reliable and have a history of good service, have been chosen as beneficiaries of this campaign.
“Together we can achieve more than our individual efforts combined.”
The first Tekkie Tax campaign took place in 2013 and a whopping R2.4-million was raised. More than 180 local NGOs participated. The message was clear; everybody loved the campaign and Tekkie Tax is here to stay.
The campaign is endorsed by some of the biggest and most accountable NGOs in the country namely:
– Child Welfare SA;
– SOS Children’s Villages;
– Special Olympics SA;
– Hospice;
– Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC);
