About Us
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." – Jeremiah 29:11
At Hope Haven, we believe that every abandoned baby deserves more than just a shelter, they deserve a family, a future, and a place of belonging, a place of hope! By the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we are called to serve, offer love, protection, hope and restoration to the most vulnerable.

Understanding Section 18A Tax Benefits for Hope Haven Donors
What is Section 18A?
Under the South African Income Tax Act (No. 58 of 1962), Section 18A allows donors (individuals and companies) to deduct qualifying donations to approved Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs) from their taxable income. Hope Haven is a registered PBO with Section 18A status, ensuring your donations are tax-deductible.
Benefits for Individual Donors:
Tax Deduction Cap:
-
You may deduct up to 10% of your annual taxable income.
-
Example: If your taxable income is R500,000, you can deduct donations up to R50,000.
Reduced Tax Liability:
-
Deductions lower your taxable income, directly reducing your income tax payable.
Carry-Forward Provision:
-
Unused deductions (above the 10% cap) can be carried forward to the next tax year.
Benefits for Corporate Donors:
Tax Deduction Limit:
-
Companies may deduct donations up to 10% of taxable income.
Enhanced CSR & Tax Efficiency:
-
Donations reduce taxable profit, lowering corporate tax (currently 27%).
-
Example: A R100,000 donation saves R27,000 in tax while boosting your Social Responsibility profile.

Publicly support a cause aligned with South Africa’s National Development Goals (NDG), enhancing stakeholder trust.
