Is the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation a registered charity in South Africa
Yes, it is. It is registered as a PBO and an NPO in South Africa. Both of these are credentials which mean a person or business in South Africa can receive a tax benefit from making a donation. Please don’t let any organization fool you in South Africa and say they are only an NPC (not-for-profit company) and lead you into believing that is a properly registered non-profit. You can buy the NPC credential off the shelf in a day. It DOES NOT allow them to give any kind of a tax benefit for a donation. Please go here to review our documents.
How does the Foundation make money?
The Shannon Elizabeth Foundation maintains all operations through a combination of hosted events and fundraisers, private philanthropy, corporate philanthropy, public donations and the creation and retail of goods.
