Each week the licensed operator of the National Lottery, transfers funds generated for good causes to the NLDTF. This amount is calculated using a pre-determined formula based on ticket sales in terms of the Licence to Operate the National Lottery. Contributions to good causes, based on ticket sales, are currently 34% after VAT.
The Carl & Emily Fuchs Foundation
The Carl & Emily Fuchs Foundation is a private funder or grantmaking organization, operating nationally within South Africa.
The Foundation was established on 1 August 1969 by its founders – Dr Carl and Mrs Emily Fuchs – primarily as a result of the wealth created by the CJ Fuchs (Pty) Ltd group of companies that had been established in 1929 by them. Due to the sad fact that the founders were not able to have children of their own, the Foundation was furthermore strengthened by the proceeds from their personal estates.
Over the many years of grantmaking, much of our funding has been focused in the areas of child care, health services and educational programmes. The Foundation itself is registered both as a non-profit organization (NPO) and a public benefit organization (PBO).
