Giving Back

How we give back

We aim to be a vehicle of hope and make an impact in marginalised communities. We do this by giving back to strengthen psychological and social capital and develop skills to improve the quality of life in these communities.

The Free To Grow Foundation is a non-profit entity aimed at partnering with organisations to provide you with a meaningful way to optimise your CSI spending. Please contact Alinda Nortje should you be interested in exploring how we can contribute to your organisation’s vision in this regard.

Here are some examples of how we have supported organisations to positively impact communities:

Caring for Staff Wellbeing -Cipla Foundation

Cipla Foundation

The Sha’p Left initiative, launched by the Cipla Foundation, supports the National Department of Health’s Dablapmeds programme by providing infrastructure for a dignified and convenient medication collection experience.

"We value our team immensely and care about their health and happiness. This led to our collaboration with Free To Grow to rollout Staying Strong, a programme that promotes wellbeing and resilience," shares Inga Hendrickse, HR Business Partner.

Life Choices - Giving Back

A small but impactful NPO, Life Choices works in the Cape Flats community, offering health, education, and welfare programmes.

Following a tough pandemic year – it was evident that many learners were struggling emotionally. Rotary Club of Claremont President, Jo Hobson, recognised that the learners could benefit from additional resilience skills.

Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT) - Giving Back

Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT)

Collaboration, faith, hope, and love – these are the building blocks that form the Prince Albert Community Trust’s (PACT) foundation of positive, transformational community engagement.

Thatha Ithuba Foundation - Giving Back

Thata Ithuba Foundation

The Youth of SA are close to our hearts and over the years Free To Grow has grasped every opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping disadvantaged youth to improve their futures. Late in 2021, we continue our journey with the Thatha Ithuba Foundation – by facilitating an Assertiveness workshop for their students at the Houw Hoek Hotel.

EverGrow Foundation - Giving Back

EverGrow Foundation

EverGrow is a non-profit organisation well-known for its social upliftment programmes in respective wine growing communities. The work done by the EverGrow’s Aware Ambassadors is close to Free To Grow’s heart, as the organsations share a common focus on growth and development. This inspired us to extend a supporting hand and offer the gift of its Staying Strong toolkit free of charge.

Abalimi Bezekhaya - Giving Back

Abalimi Bezekhaya

In support of Abalimi Bezekhaya, a development organisation committed to the advancement of impoverished groups in the greater Cape Town Area, the Free To Grow Foundation sponsored 22 community members, from Khayelitsha, to attend FTG Lifeskills.

MathMoms - Giving Back

Serving the communities of Elsies River, Ravensmead, and surrounds, this amazing initiative creates a safe space where children come to learn maths and leave having learned much more.

Our contribution, in collaboration with the Klara Project, is to equip the moms with much-needed personal development by means of our 4-day FTG Lifeskills programme.
