INTRODUCING:
NGO CONNECT

VWSA has over the years worked hard at grass roots level in the community to identify and recognise strong NGOs already functioning optimally within the Metro and we have partnered with many of them to provide services and support.

Volkswagen Trustees serve on the boards of these NGOs in order to help improve their capacity levels and encourage best-practice management. In addition to long term partnerships we have established with various such NGO’s, we also make ad hoc donations to additional deserving NGO’s.

However, there are still countless NGO’s and community projects that are in need of more support. In order to give voice to these needs in the community, we have initiated an exciting new platform to ensure that no deserving community project or NGO is overlooked.

Our suppliers are in part directly responsible for this initiative – for years you have been contacting VWSA requesting linkages to active and deserving projects which may benefit from your annual CSI investments.

The answer to these needs is NGO Connect.
The NGO Connect Platform has been designed to offer the following gateway:

• Profile registered NGO’s in the Metro
• Make NGO information accessible to potential corporate investors, partners, donors, supporters
• Share best practice models with partners towards optimising the sustainability and success of NGO projects

We invite you to utilise this platform to further the empowerment and upliftment of our local communities.

Please visit www.vwct.co.za
and select the NGO Connect option from the menu.

Here you will be introduced to the NGO Connect concept and will be presented with a listing of all NGO’s currently registered with the Volkswagen Community Trust – all are in need and deserving of support.

We also encourage you to browse the Volkswagen Community Trust website. In each of our Key Focus Areas of Health, Education, Community Wellbeing, Youth and Sustainability, you will be introduced to the real situation our communities are facing today. On the bright side, read the Success Stories to see how easy it is to make a positive difference!

Trusting that you will receive this invitation
to participate in the light it is intended:
“Working together we can touch lives”.

Yours sincerely, Weza Moss
