The Tshikululu Pooled Fund provides a streamlined and trustworthy way for suppliers and investors to support Social and Economic Development (SED), Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD), or Section 18A initiatives. It removes administrative complexity and ensures every contribution drives real outcomes.
We manage the fund end-to-end. This includes governance, due diligence, programme design, implementation, and reporting. All contributions go to credible, high-impact programmes. Investors can trust their funds are responsibly managed, and suppliers can have peace of mind knowing their support is creating measurable, sustainable change.
All participants receive regular impact reports for full transparency and accountability. This shared platform makes it easier to give, simplifies compliance, and most importantly, strengthens communities.
Why It Matters
Deeper, broader, sustainable change
Social investment initiatives in South Africa are often implemented in silos, each with its own team, budget, and metrics. While valuable individually, this approach can limit impact, create duplication, and reduce efficiency.
The pooled fund is guided by Tshikululu’s Integration Framework, a structured approach that connects social investment streams. The framework ensures programmes, resources, and strategy work together, enabling shared investment, streamlined reporting, and unified outcomes. This approach delivers deeper, broader, and more sustainable change.
The Tshikululu Pooled Fund is designed for:
Suppliers seeking to meet SED and ESD requirements.
Companies looking to contribute to Section 18A qualifying initiatives.
Businesses wanting a credible, transparent channel for social investment.
