Tshikululu CEO wins financial services award

30 July 2010

Tshikululu Social Investments is pleased to announce the awarding of its CEO, Tracey Henry, as financial services category winner in the “œ2010 Most Influential Women in Business and Government Awards” at a ceremony at Midrand’s Gallagher Estate today.

“œThis recognition is especially pleasing as it shows an appreciation of the CSI fund and trust management that has been undertaken by Tshikululu on behalf of major South African corporations for the past 12 years”, notes Henry. “œGratifying too is that it should be made for the work of our not-for-profit company, despite our being bracketed with top range financial services institutions.”

Tshikululu managed R495 million of corporate social investment funds in 2009, and acts as grantmaker manager to community development initiatives throughout South Africa. Clients whose CSI trusts are managed include Anglo American, De Beers, the FirstRand Group, Discovery, and UTi.

This work saw Tshikululu undertake 241 individual project site visits last year, and process more than 3 000 applications for NGO funding. Tshikululu is South Africa’s largest private sector vehicle for corporate social investment grantmaking.
