Creating a galaxy of SA philantrophy stars
2010-06-17
THE Inyathelo Philanthropy Awards aim to recognise philanthropy ‘stars’ in civil society, acknowledging people who donate their own personal funds for social development. Nominations for these prestigious awards will close at the end of June. So far, there has been an increase in nominations submitted this year, but the Executive Director of Inyathelo - The South African Institute for Advancement, Shelagh Gastrow, says she’s expecting a lot more. “Many ordinary South Africans across our country are giving of their time, energy and financial resources to help others. These people are heroes in their own right.” Gastrow has called on leaders and organisations in communities to nominate people for awards in five different categories: Special Recognition Award for Philanthropy, Youth in Philanthropy Award, Women in Philanthropy Award, Community Philanthropy Award and Lifetime Award for Philanthropy. A full description of what each award is about can be found on Inyathelo’s website www.inyathelo.co.za together with the nomination forms. The winners will be announced on 15 November. If you do not have access to the internet, contact Inyathelo on 021-465-6981 and they will gladly send you the forms.
