The Gauteng Social Development MEC Faith Mazibuko has announced two weeks of reprieve for Non-Profit Organisations funding applications. The old closing date of 15 October has been moved to 30 October 2025.
MEC Mazibuko made the announcement today at Orlando Communal Hall in Soweto after concluding her quarterly meeting with NPOs throughout the province. “During the engagements, some NPOs requested an extension because they have faced technical challenges with our new online application system, and we want to assure the sector that we are addressing these system challenges”, the MEC said and also advised that alternatively the applications can be email to NPOApplications.

Mazibuko added that the Department was committed to supporting Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) in accessing funding. Smart online applications will also continue to be implemented as the department is going paperless. MEC added that beyond applications stage, NPOs will be expected to file their monthly reports and compliance documents through the online system.
In today’s environment, brand reputation is fragile. A well-funded CSI initiative can lose credibility if it is mismanaged, misaligned with community needs, or fails to demonstrate accountability.
As a leader in Corporate Social Investment (CSI), one of the most important questions I find myself constantly asking is: how do we know that we’re making a real difference?
