Sugarbird Project

All donations to the Sugarbird Project are received with gratitude and used with care.

For donations of R1000 or more we can provide you with a Section 18A tax certificate allowing you to claim the donation against your taxable revenue.

Where will your money go?

Over 80% of our budget goes directly to paying the contracted teams of men who do the hard work of removing invasive alien plants. The rest goes to supporting these teams with tools, transport, training and protective clothing.

All oversight and administration is undertaken by volunteers who do the work pro bono, for the sheer joy of seeing the indigenous forest and fynbos survive and thrive.

Notable Sponsors

Donors

We have raised just over R4 million so far for the 2023/24 financial year.

The bulk of our funding has come from 5 Trusts and 4 families, with some regular donations and some ad hoc donations including from Snapscan – this is due to our great signage, thanks to Finn Behnken.
