How does Helderberg Supporta work?
Business owners
Register on the platform and decide on a listing option and a non-profit you want to support. A portion of your monthly Sponsorship fee is paid to your non-profit as a referral fee.
When Supporters of a specific non-profit search on Supporta, businesses that support the same non-profit will appear in the top section of the list.
However, businesses that support other non-profits will also feature just below the section above, ensuring adequate exposure.
We strongly suggest you also register your business on the PayFast platform where possible, as payments via the platform automatically allow for a 5% rebate on every transaction. The rebates are then shared between the Supporter’s Beneficiaries (with a small admin fee going to Supporta).
The rebates further supplement the funds raised for non-profits and provide an additional incentive for Supporters to buy from ALL participating businesses, whether they support the same Beneficiary or not.
