Our Partners: Uniq Foundation

Grant writing internship available at fundraising group

Uniq Foundation is a Cape Town-based company assisting local NGOs with fundraising support, strengthening their brands, and helping them foster relationships with strategic partners. Nonprofit organizations are an integral part of the South African social and economic fabric, they play an essential role in providing services and resources to local communities in need, and they fight for noble causes such as poverty alleviation and access to education. Unfortunately as it stands, these grassroots-level NGOs often lack the business know-how to raise funds in order to be financially sustainable in the long-term.

Uniq Foundation was born with the goal of sharing knowledge, business know-how and funding opportunities. Furthermore, they support NGOs in sponsorship proposals, or write professional proposals on their behalf, not to mention various workshops hosted for this very purpose. By lending a hand to local NGOs in such areas, Uniq Foundation allows them to fully focus on and execute their projects, which in turn creates a much-needed sustainable and thriving business environment.
