Give to your heart's delight

Big or small: your gift will impact generations to come.

Most ECD Centres in low-income communities don’t have proper, safe facilities, the right equipment and resources, skilled and trained teachers, or structured ECD programmes to ensure quality learning. Because they charge low fees, these centres often cannot afford to invest into their small businesses. Grow ECD can connect your donation to where it is needed most. We can also provide you with a Section 18A tax exemption certificate for any cash donations.

Work with a partner that's on the ground.

Like you, we care deeply about ensuring that children from under-resourced communities receive 5 Star education in their most crucial years. We work with hundreds of preschools, daycares, creches and educare centres across the country and can give you advice on what’s needed most and where. Whether it’s Mandela Day, Giving Tuesday, a legacy donation, a corporate cause-related campaign or a special individual donation, our team will ensure your gift reaches the right centre.
