The Donald Woods Foundation

How you can get involved with the Donald Woods Foundation

More and more people are telling us that they would like to be part of the difference that the Foundation is making in the rural Eastern Cape. There are many ways you could participate, and we appreciate all your ideas, but here are just some that we have come up with:

Tell people about us

Spread the word about the Donald Woods Foundation’s programme works and events. Tell people to visit our website and encourage them to get involved. If your workplace, school or college does not already support a charity, consider nominating DWF. You can also "like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. (Contact Us for more information)

Raise money for us

Many people have chosen to raise funds for us by running races, holding sales, staging benefit concerts and setting themselves personal challenges for sponsorship. If you have an idea for some fund-raising that you would like to do, please Contact Us as we will be delighted to help in any way we can.

Donate your time or expertise

If you have a skill you and would like to help us – please consider donating some time, even if it is just a few hours. It could be anything from website design, to legal expertise. Donations of this kind can make an extraordinary difference and mean we can spend more of the money we raise on those who need it most. Contact Us for more information

Donate something else

If you have something you think the Foundation could use in its programme work in health and education, we would love to hear your idea. Contact Us!

Become a Foundation Member

If you would like to give a regular donation, no matter how small, you can become a Foundation Member, and receive invitations to events as well as regular updates on our programme work. Please Contact Us for more information.

We appreciate every donation – no matter how small – and we work very hard to make sure your money goes to the people who need it most.
