Coporate Partnerships

buiness as a
force for good

Every part of society, both the private and public sector, from NPOs to corporates, has a role to play in nation building. Common Good contributes to this important work by supporting grassroots transformation in the areas of Early Life, Education, Employment and through equipping the Church to live justly.  

We invite you to partner with us to build brighter futures for thousands of men, women, and children across South Africa. 

As a registered NPO, we may also issue S18A tax certificates for any individual, CSI or SED donations received.

B-BBEE Benefits of partnering with Common Good

As a registered NPO contributing to the development of South Africa by investing in individuals from childhood through to employment, preparing them to thrive economically, support their families, and contribute to their communities, Common Good is perfectly positioned to assist partners in meeting requirements for B-BBEE compliance in Skills Development and Socio-Economic Development.

B-BBEE presents companies with an opportunity to align skills spend with initiatives and values that are meaningful to your organisation.

We offer our partners the benefit of fulfilling more than one element on the scorecard, allowing organisations to better structure their contributions to achieve maximum points.

Common Good is an established and trusted partner, with robust governance and strong fiscal management. We have received clean professional audits year on year since inception and have maintained a Level 1 B-BBEE status.

Skills Development

Depending on the size of the organisation, enterprises are required to spend 3-6% of payroll costs on skills development. Of this, Category F may contribute 15%. The amended code states that beneficiaries do not have to be the entity’s employees, but can also be qualifying black people in general.

Common Good is able to assist companies seeking to maximise their points in this priority element. We work closely with our partners to ensure efficient, recognisable skills development spend that is targeted at deserving candidates in the correct demographics.

Our various initiatives equip beneficiaries with the hard and soft skills needed to flourish in all phases of life: from very early childhood, throughout school and into adulthood, as they seek to enter the job-market.

This training qualifies for Category F of the Skills Development code: informal, work-based training, which leads to increased understanding of work or improved performance in skills.

Socio-Economic Development

An entity may obtain a maximum of 5 B-BBEE points for spending 1% of net profit (after tax) on SED contributions, where 75% of the value directly benefits black people.

Common Good is a verified SED partner. In excess of 75% of the value of benefits accrues to black people, and therefore any SED donations are fully recognisable for this element.

Our training, development and coaching models not only meet the requirements of the law, but are also according to the spirit of the law, which places emphasis on educational activities.
