Who we are…
Community Development Foundation Western Cape is a non-government volunteer-driven, charitable organisation that aims to strengthen its geographically defined community by facilitating philanthropy. Its unique approach is to partner with donors through designated funds or defined-interest funds to build permanent endowments which are used to support community projects.
We are not a traditional welfare organisation – rather an agent for change.
We act as grantmaker, catalysts, facilitators and connectors. In these capacities, CDF WCape seeks to improve the quality of life of people living in the Western Cape, strengthen the common good and address the most challenging social concerns of people. We do this by raising funds and identifying opportunities that link donors’ interest to community needs and aspirations, while at all times requiring full accountability from stakeholders on an even-handed keel.

WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO SOW SEEDS OF HOPE IN ANY CURRENCY OF GIVING.

To multitask with Project Management, Payroll, Accounting, Staff, Governance and Compliance is huge, however, with the right resources it can become manageable. The laptop is much appreciated in many ways and will be beneficial long after Lockdown and Winter, however, it came at just the right
time. Thank you.”
“Thanks CDF for bringing my
office into my room…
