How Section 18A Works for You

Supporting Camino Bursary isn't just an act of generosity — it's a financially smart decision

Through our Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) status and Section 18A approval, every donation you make works twice:

1. Direct Social Impact

Empowering youth to study, graduate, and become leaders in our community.

2. Direct Financial Benefit

Reducing your tax liability and allowing you to reinvest those savings back into your family, your business, or even further sponsorships.

Tax Deduction Limit

You may deduct donations up to 10% of your taxable income in any financial year.

Rollover Advantage

Excess donations can be carried forward and claimed in the next year of assessment.

Official Recognition

You receive an official Section 18A Certificate as proof for SARS.

Practical Examples
