Enriching lives through making everyone count
Futuregrowth's CSI
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to make a meaningful, tangible difference to communities and in so doing fulfil our vision of enriching lives. A secondary purpose is to provide Futuregrowth employees with a platform to live the brand and further enrich their own lives by doing good for others.
Our Philosophy
We have aways believed in supporting projects that do outstanding work at a grass roots level but because of their structure often find it difficult to raise funds to continue the work that they do. These projects are also supported because Futuregrowth is able to make a significant difference and is often instrumental in getting the project up and running. It is extremely rewarding for us when after a few years a project is able to do its own fund-raising and become self sustainable, which is ultimately our aim.
Our Process
Futuregrowth allocates 1% of its after tax profits to Corporate Social Investment (CSI). An internal Corporate Social Investment Committee vets the projects under review. Committee members are invited to serve on the committee based on their passion for, and interest in, social development work in and among socio-economically deprived communities, and all staff are encouraged to particpate in the activities of the development projects.
Our geographical area of focus is mainly in the Western Cape to ensure that we can implement a thorough due diligence process with committee members personally visiting the project and assessing and monitoring projects on an ongoing basis. The proximity of the project to our Cape Town offices also makes it more feasible for our broader staff complement to be actively involved.
