Pro-bono support for GBV support and advocacy charity

Sexual- and gender-based violence remains one of the most pressing social issues facing South Africa. In South Africa, a woman is more likely to die at the hands of her partner than by any other cause. 

The Jes Foord Foundation is a KwaZulu-Natal-based charity working to address this issue by providing support to survivors and being actively involved in advocacy and education across the province including the most vulnerable communities.

As part of the Genesis Analytics’s pro-bono work, we partnered with the Jes Foord Foundation to help them advance their fundraising strategy and support their donor database and approach technique.

The project involved:

• Analysing and further developing the Foundation’s funding strategy using shared value principles;
• Building out the Foundation’s donor database to supplement the strategy; and
• Supporting the foundation’s communications by developing an information pack for their use in fundraising.

It was an inspiring experience to work with such a passionate and committed team, and to see the impact our work can have on organizations that are making a difference in their communities.
