Fundraising

SAMVIM is part of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and provides relief and assistance to all spheres of the churches in South Africa, in other parts of Africa and overseas.

We rely greatly on financial donations and annual contributions by various organizations. Due to our affiliation to the Methodist Church which is a Section 21 Organization, we fall under the same umbrella and are allowed the same benefits, which we pass on to those who financially sustain us in the benefit of a tax benefit to those companies in South Africa.

Fundraising is a vital part of the ongoing operation of SAMVIM. Affiliation to the General Board of Global Ministries in New York allows the Methodist churches who support us to benefit from advance credit.

Donations can be made at your local church to the attention of the Annual Conference Treasurer, who forwards them to the General Board.
