|Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|U-turn Outreach has established its grant making
policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit to
provide relief of poverty among homeless people in
South Africa and support the advancement of the
Christian faith. Currently it is estimated there are
200,000 homeless people in South Africa.
The beneficiary organisation must be a registered non-
profit organisation in South Africa that is working from
a developmental approach to overcome homelessness.
The beneficiary organisation must also support the
advancement of the Christian faith, in particular but
not exclusively by providing opportunities for the
homeless community and those who work to support
them to engage in prayer, Bible study and religious
education.
U-turn Outreach will build partnerships with
organisations working on homelessness in South Africa
and will invite them to apply for funding. To access
funding, the beneficiary organisation needs to
complete an application form outlining the use of the
funds. Requests will be reviewed by the U-turn
Outreach board on a quarterly basis.
U-turn Outreach does not accept unsolicited donation
requests from organisations it does not already have a
partnership with and may not respond to any such
request received. U-turn Outreach reserves the right
to undertake background and due diligence checks on
anynew organisation before fundingisprovided.|
