A Generous couple has stepped up and offered to match — rand for rand — every gift given to the ministry over this month of February — up to R240 000.
So, would you consider giving a generous gift — knowing that your impact will be doubled through this matching fund?
Your generosity allows us to meet the desperate needs of so many people — those who do not know Christ as their Saviour, parents who need help to raise Godly kids, couples on the brink of divorce, orphans who need help, youth who don’t have fathers and so many more.
God has been so good this past year — how exciting to think even more is possible! In just the last year your faithful prayers and support have accomplished the following:
• Reached nearly 2 million people in South Africa and another 2.5 million across Africa through our Radio Broadcast (our radio program is translated into Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Portuguese, French and Hausa)
• Encouraged nearly 6000 people in marriage or parenting at live seminars across the country
• Counselled and/or referred over 1500 people
• Trained over 7000 Youth in a message of character and abstinence
• Helped 878 OVC’s on a monthly basis
All of this is possible because of your faithful prayers and generous support — that is why we are so excited about this Matching Fund.
So please prayerfully consider giving – knowing that your gift will accomplish TWICE AS MUCH for families.
Thank you for your generosity
SECTION 18A
Section 18A is the way our government encourages individuals and companies to give to Public Benefit Organisations that qualify for the Section 18A status.
Our core work is the promotion or protection of family stability, our desire to see families thrive.
What this means for you as an individual or company, is that, if you give us a gift:
minimum is R100 maximum is up to 10% of your annual taxable income (you can give more, but the exemption only qualifies for up to 10%) you can receive a certificate from us (we must have all your details), that you can use to submit your tax to SARS. SARS will then deduct the amount you have given as above, from your taxable income, which will reduce the tax you pay. Focus will issue you with a certificate in May, for gifts given from 1 March (previous year) to 28 February (current year). Please ensure that we have your updated details.
For certificate requests please email marged@fotf.co.za Focus has also been given BBBEE Status.
