1 May 2026 – The North West MEC for Social Development, Sussana Dantjie has congratulated 353 compliant Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs), who have been approved for funding for the 2026/2027 financial year. Dantjie said the well-deserved congratulations were exchanged at her consultation session with funded non-profit organisations (NPOs).
She further said the approval at the beginning of the financial year marks a significant achievement for the department. Dantjie added that the entire process was completed in record time.
