Cape Town philanthropist James McGregor of Kenilworth passed away recently at the age of 69. For his tireless work over many years to uplift the Westlake community in Cape Town, James McGregor is the recipient of the 2013 Inyathelo Award for Lifetime Philanthropy.

This month’s Get Resourceful session focused on External Relationships, one of Inyathelo’s Ten Building Blocks for Advancement. Some 40 attendees from the Cape Town NPO community packed into the Inyathelo boardroom in Woodstock. Cape Town TV also filmed the proceedings.

The NPO Directorate has issued a notice listing the nominees for the establishment of a Panel of Arbitration as is required under the Nonprofit Organisations Act No.71 of 1997. We are encouraging civil society organisations examine the shortlist of candidates and provide comment on the composition of the panel.

In a recent editorial in the Daily Maverick, Sisonke Msimang thoughtfully argues that South African civil society with it’s predominantly white and “racially insecure” leadership will have no choice but to welcome Dr Ramphele back.  Simply put, the sector needs her street cred. 

Inyathelo offers a range of free publications and downloads related to Advancement, fundraising, non-profit management and much more.

Inyathelo’s FundingFinder Donor Database is an online prospecting tool that provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on donors who may be willing to support the work you do.

As the Youth Day commemorations wind down, we at are reminded that young South Africans continue to sacrifice and give of themselves in hopes of building a better nation for all. 

Every month Inyathelo is hosting a free Get Resourceful session focusing on one of the Ten Elements of Advancement, where we share useful resources, tips, know-how, expert advice and insights to help you ADVANCE your organisation and mobilise resources. This month, we focussed on Human Capacity.

In an effort to share learnings with our broader community, Inyathelo hosted a Twitter Q&A with our experts on Human Capacity as part of the 10 June "Get Resourceful" session.
