Baphumelele relies heavily on the kindness of its supporters and friends to help run the projects to the highest standards possible. Without this kindness, Baphumelele would not be where it is today. Please feel free to reach out for more information on how donations are managed and cared for.
Please read on for information on how best to donate. Many thanks with all our hearts!
Direct Donations
Direct donations are the preferred method for making a contribution, especially for larger amounts, because the entire gift amount is received by Baphumelele. You can donate via EFT (South Africa) or wire transfer (international) to the following account:
Bank: First National Bank (FNB)
SWIFT Code: FIRNZAJJ
Branch Name: Promenade
Branch Code: 250555
Account Name: Baphumelele Sponsorship
Account Number: 62066375538
Please put your name as the reference. You may write “unrestricted gift” in the notes section, or give other directions. Please contact Baphumelele by email if you would like to receive a tax receipt or BEE certificate acknowledging your gift.
You can also donate directly by check or cash, using South African Rand (ZAR). (Please contact Baphumelele if you wish to make a donation in another currency to ensure that this can be processed by the local bank). Checks should be made payable to “Baphumelele”. Please send your donation to the following address:
Mr. Peter Hugo
PO Box 457
Rondebosch, Cape Town, 7701
South Africa
Donate Online via Payfast
You can make an online donation by credit card, ApplePay, SamsungPay, Zapper, and more via Payfast. However, a convenience fee will be charged, equal to either 3.20% or 3.25% of the donation (depending on payment method), plus R2. Since this could add up for large amounts, you may wish to employ one of the other methods for amounts of R2000 (US$115) or more.

Donate Internationally via Partner Organizations
If you are based in Germany, Switzerland, the USA or the UK, we do have partner organizations based there who can process your donation in local currency, and also issue the necessary certificate for tax purposes.
