Is my corporate contribution B-BBEE and CSI eligible?
Yes. Because 100% of our programs directly benefit black South African community members in rural villages, corporate sponsorships qualify fully for Socio-Economic Development (SED) points under B-BBEE. We provide a B-BBEE affidavit or verification letter.
