The Pitseng Trust was established in 1998 by women in Johannesburg who were inspired by Mama Cash in the Netherlands and the Global Fund for Women. As a dedicated women's fund, its major goal is to support and build the capacity of local women's organizations, especially those working on income generation and economic development through grantmaking, training, and capacity building. Past successes include training and mentoring a group of women's groups through an initiative termed Nthweshe kego Rweshe Women's Initiatives and making grants to small community-based organizations. This grant increase will support Pitseng Trust to appoint a new executive director and to introduce systems that will help it become more effective.

The South African Holocaust Foundation is dedicated to the creation of a just and caring society in which human rights and diversity are respected and valued. The South African Holocaust Foundation uses the lessons from the Holocaust to highlight issues related to human behavior, fragility of freedom, and the need for vigilance in preserving democratic values. Past support enabled the South African Holocaust Foundation to train teachers throughout the country on how to teach about the Holocaust and its universal lessons for human rights. Its belief is that Holocaust history helps students to develop an understanding of the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping. This grant will enable the South African Holocaust Foundation to continue to train senior teachers throughout the country as trainers on Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and its universal lessons on humanity. These teachers will in turn provide ongoing training to grades nine and eleven teachers in their respective provinces.

The Gordon Institute of Business Science, based at the University of Pretoria, was established in 2000 and is one of the leading business schools in South Africa. The "Dialogue Circles" program creates opportunities for interaction and exchange across the different sectors of South African society to explore common solutions to the divides of race, poverty, and gender. The program provides current and emerging leaders in business, government, and civil society with learning opportunities and the space to share perspectives, engage in critical thinking, and explore their roles in improving the socioeconomic situation in South Africa. Past support contributed to programs that facilitate dialogue and strengthen leadership capacity among the youth, middle managers and top executives from business, government, and the nonprofit sector. This grant supports the Gordon Institute of Business Science to implement these core programs and to create spaces for dialogue and exchange on topical issues.
