Support St John: Ways to Give
At St John, every contribution helps us continue our mission of improving health, safety, and quality of life through essential services like first aid, eye care, and community health training across South Africa. Whether you're an individual looking to make a difference or a business seeking to give back, there are many ways to support our work.
1. Make a Donation
Once-off or Monthly Contributions
Your generosity helps us provide life-saving training, healthcare services, and community support. Choose to make a one-time gift or set up a monthly donation to support St John on an ongoing basis. Every donation, big or small, makes a lasting impact.
2. Corporate Giving
Once-off or Monthly Contributions
Businesses can partner with St John to create meaningful change. Corporate donations qualify for a Section 18A tax certificate, making your contribution tax-deductible. Support us through:
– Monetary donations
– Sponsorships
Learn About Tax Benefits
The Order of St John South Africa is a registered Non-Profit Organisation (NPO 000-814), which means that donations made to us by individuals and businesses may qualify for a Section 18A tax deduction under the South African Income Tax Act.
What is a Section 18A Certificate?
A Section 18A certificate is an official tax receipt issued by St John that allows donors to claim a tax deduction on their annual tax return. This means:
– Companies and individuals can reduce their taxable income by the amount donated.
– Supporting a good cause also benefits your bottom line—you contribute to community development while receiving a tax break.
How Does It Work?
– Make a donation
– Request a Section 18A Certificate. After making your contribution, you can request a tax certificate from us.
– Claim your deduction – Submit the Section 18A certificate when filing your tax return with SARS to receive your deduction.
– Contact us to request your Section 18A certificate
