The Voluntary Giving Programme is a simple, tax effective way (for donations of R50 or more per month) for employees to give to charity from their pay. In response to comments from Accenture personnel to increase the spread of NGOs, Accenture has joined The Giving Organisation which has the exclusive aim of uniting charities and non-profit organisations in areas such as children, health, education, feeding schemes, wildlife, animals and nature, and developing innovative ways of creating sustainable source of income for them.Staff members donate between R25 and R500 per month. Currently, approximately 70 percent of the workforce is committed to this programme. The eleven charities are as follows: - CHOC – Childhood Cancer Foundation
- South African Red Cross Society
- Cotlands
- Reach for a Dream Foundation
- Ithemba Trust
- Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Centre for Africa
- CANSA
- Tomorrow Trust
- African Children's Feeding Scheme
- Word Wide Fund for Nature (South Africa)
- National SPCA
