What we do

Two Strategic
Focusses

Nation Builder unites social investors and nonprofits, fostering collaboration and enabling impactful initiatives for sustainable social change.

1. Member Network

Nation Builder supports a member network of like-minded social investors and nonprofit organisations working in the social sector. As a network of Nation Builders, we collaborate to share knowledge and solutions to drive positive social action and impact. We advocate for professionalism by providing our members with standardised and co-created support and resources. By joining hands with hundreds of nonprofits and social investors, we are able to amplify their collective impact in South Africa.

2. Investment Management

At Nation Builder, we know that social investors are becoming more discerning in their investments, seeking real and measurable impact and collaborative partnerships. Nation Builder offers specialised CSI consultation and fund management services where the impact of social investment is further enhanced by the support offered to funded organisations. Social investors also have the opportunity to invest in Nation Builder. In doing so, funders are investing in the future of South Africa’s social sector, and unlocking its full potential.

We are committed to the three pillars of professionalism, capacity support, and collaboration to achieve a deeper impact.

Through collaborative action, we aim to address complex social challenges by sharing and
leveraging our community’s collective experience, best practices,
and resources.
