Our Story
In 2016, our Group CEO Rob Spanjaard and founder Wally Gray were deeply moved by the challenges faced by vulnerable communities in South Africa, and they knew that they had to take action.
The Foundation has given significantly over R40 million to organisations that make a big impact in the most vulnerable communities specifically within South Africa, with impact that extends across the world.
The Rezco Foundation has adopted a trust-based, quiet giving strategy to organisations that have high faith levels and are passionate and focused on their mission-critical work. We give as much as is prudently sustainable for the Foundation, keeping our costs at a bare minimum so that every cent we are entrusted with ultimately helps the receiving beneficiary at the end of the day.
Our approach to philanthropy is grounded in collaboration and a shared commitment to making a real difference. We give to trusted organisations, without demand, yet we keep a very intentional, active eye on the impact, ensuring our giving is continually maximized and stewarded faithfully. We believe in providing our partners the flexibility to use the funds in a way that makes the most sense for their organisations on a trust-based approach.
Our strategic objective is to serve stakeholders whilst stewarding the impact of our partnerships. From addressing child abuse to tackling unemployment and hunger, we are grateful for the positive impact our partners have made on communities across South Africa.
