As we enter into day 14 of the South African lockdown and the Easter weekend, we are encourage to see how people and organisations are joining forces while being physically distanced to combat the impact of COVID-19.
Through collaborative
efforts, our nation, its people and organisations have united by offering to
assist in confronting this current crisis, and the Solidarity Fund is
a vehicle that has been established to facilitate these honourable and selfless
efforts.
Our partner, Barker Insurance, recently announced “In our constant endeavour to uphold our fundamental values of humility, care, integrity, authenticity and loyalty, Barker has contributed an initial R150 000 to the Solidarity Fund.” Read the full announcement here.
EasyEquities has also
contributed directly to the fund and have enabled a donate for good feature on
their platform to allow investors an easy way to contribute to the fund. Read
more here.
Young individuals too are contributing to the fund and using social media as a mechanism to encourage others to join the cause. Robbie Ball, a friend of our associate Josh Nuttall, started a challenge that encouraged South Africans to do their part and contribute.
The Solidarity Fund
enables individuals and organisations to support efforts that are being
established to address the impact of COVID-19 through secure, tax-deductible
donations. The fund operates with the highest principles of corporate
governance and has an independent Board. All activities will be reported in a
transparent manner.
The scale of the
impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy is yet to be fully determined
and only time will tell just how the future will unfold. Small acts, donations,
and contributions together can make a big difference. Together we can unite and
play our part in combatting COVID-19.
Stay safe and keep positive during this time. We are #InThisTogether
