We’re a small, professional and highly motivated NGO that relies on funding to survive. Your donation will help us to expand our work in South Africa.

Corruption Watch relies on donations from generous individuals like you to carry out our work.

We can’t do it without your help.

Report – we provide a platform for reporting corruption to us.
Investigate – we investigate selected reports of alleged corruption, particularly cases that have an impact on society.
Expose – we work with mainstream and community media to make sure that corruption is fully exposed.
Analyse – we gather and analyse information to identify patterns and hot spots of corruption.
Campaigns – we build campaigns that mobilise people to take a stand against corruption.

Our audited financial statements are published so that the use of money from donors both big and small is transparently available.

Click on the red Donate now button, and you will be redirected to our page on GivenGain, a global activism organisation. Here you will be able to make a monthly or one-off donation in a safe online environment.

You can also make a direct deposit into our bank account and you’ll find the details here.

Becoming a regular supporter will allow you to make a difference all year round. A reliable income will allow us to plan our work more effectively and carry it out more efficiently.

If you want to stop a recurring donation, just select the “Donations” tab of your GivenGain account and click on “Recurring Donations”. Click on “Edit” next to the donation instruction, then on “Stop” in the popup window.

The online donation platform GivenGain does deduct a small fee from the donations. This includes the GivenGain Foundation’s 5% fee, and the transaction fees to cover banks, credit card companies, and other associated costs.

GivenGain transaction fees

Once you have made a donation you become part of our circle of friends, so we will stay in touch with you by occasionally sending you messages, just to keep you up to date with what’s happening on our side.

You are entitled to query a debit that has come off your account. If the debit is less than 40 calendar days old, your bank will reverse the debit immediately and advise us. If the debit is older than 40 (forty) calendar days, your bank will take up the matter with us.

For our fundraising campaigns and videos we sometimes use actors and actresses to support our storytelling. If we talk about whistleblowers, we feel that it is necessary to ensure their anonymity. In the case of “I am not the only one – Lethabo”, the story is based on corruption reports submitted to us, but Lethabo in the video is an actor that we used for the video. The actor’s parents are fully aware of the nature of the fundraising video and also needed to provide written consent to us for the production of this video.

You will get the chance to request one at the same time that you are setting up your  donation – this is the most convenient method. Otherwise you may request one from us later.

No, we do not save credit card information.

Currently you can donate indifferent currencies using your credit card. Donations using direct debit order are only possible with South Afriocan bank accounts.

Yes. When you make the pledge on our website to donate monthly, you indicate which payment method you would prefer and you give us the mandate to collect your donation via a monthly direct debit order.

This could be because of insufficient funds, account data entered incorrectly, or a technical problem. We will attempt to run the debit during the next batch. We may contact you to confirm your banking details.

We do not save credit card information. We save banking details for direct debits only, but you must authorise us to do so.
