The BenefACTor Programme makes it possible for individuals
to make a difference by giving today for a creative tomorrow.
The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) invites art lovers to
make a donation on someone else's behalf as a gift or to become a BenefACTor
themselves by making a once-off donation this festive season.
ACT has a proud track record of playing a strategic role in
the arts and culture sector consistently for 22 years. Over this time, ACT has
evolved into a dynamic organisation which continuously pioneers and executes
with excellence in supporting creativity for the benefit of all South Africans.
"In an environment intent on measuring everything in
terms of returns, here is an opportunity to embrace altruism. This is an
exchange where the return for giving is the simple joy of knowing that you are
doing something for the greater good and in that the return is unquantifiable
and indeed on-going," says ACT Ambassador, Brenda Sakellarides.
Since inception in 1994, the Trust managed to turn an
initial investment of R5 million into a whopping R44 million of which close to
R30 million was disbursed to South African artists, practitioners and arts and
culture organisations with the view of enabling and advancing the industry. To
