Partner with Purpose
At St Bernard’s, we believe in the power of partnerships to create meaningful impact. For over 34 years, we’ve worked side by side with businesses to ensure that families in our community receive the care and support they need.

We offer a range of partnership opportunities tailored to your company’s goals. Whether you’re looking to engage employees or build customer trust, we’re here to collaborate with you.
Direct Donations
The simplest way to support our work is through a direct donation. Your contribution can be used where it’s needed most, or we can align it with a specific project or programme that resonates with your business values.
We provide:
- Section 18A tax certificates for financial benefits
- A copy of our BBBEE certification
Corporate Social Investment
Companies who spend 1% of Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) on socio-economic development initiatives are allocated 5 points towards their BBBEE scorecard.
As a registered non-profit organisation, we will provide the following to companies who invest their SED in our initiatives:
- A section 18A certificate for monetary donations received.
- A ‘confirmation of Donation towards SED program spend’ which is required as a source document for a BBBEE audit.
- Regular program spend reporting tailored to investors requirements if required
Percentage of Sales
Connect your product with purpose by donating a portion of sales to St Bernard’s. This can be linked to a specific product or your overall revenue. It’s a great way to boost customer engagement while making a difference.
Gifts and Services in Kind
Support us by offering professional services, equipment, or other resources. Your expertise or products could make a big difference in helping us deliver care.

Money Collection Tins
Do you own, or work at a retail store? Or a business with an active customer frontline? Why not consider placing one of our clearly labelled collection tins at your till or customer desk, and so allow individuals to donate any cents they may still have lying around, even as we continue to move towards a cashless society.
Contact us if you wish to join a large group of participants in our Money Collection Tin initiative. Every cent helps to make essential palliative care services available to our Buffalo City (Buffalo City East London) community.
Many cents = BIG change.
