Rewards for communities 

Community Rewards Programme: Honouring 40 Years of Service to our Communities

As part of our 40-year celebrations, we invite our Members to participate in our Community Rewards Programme, offering R40 000 each to five Community Based Organisations which our Members believe are contributing to building stronger communities. Make sure you submit a nomination form. Details below.

For the past 40 years, LegalWise has served our communities through the provision of access to justice for all. Since its inception, the Company has shown commitment to the communities in which we operate by investing in sustainable development activities. We aim to further support positive transformation within our communities through responsible Corporate Social Investment (CSI). 

Following an Asset-based and Citizen-led Development (ABCD) approach, we believe in building on the existing assets of people and ensuring meaningful transformation for those it affects most. We believe in placing communities at the centre of their own development, so that they become the primary producers of their own wellbeing and enjoy access to all human rights.  It means starting with what you have and building on what you know. We recognise communities as the main driving force behind their own development and their active participation is crucial for the sustainability of any development activity.  We strive to focus on what is strong, not what is wrong and create opportunities for communities to mobilise their own gifts and talents, instead of bringing in outside solutions to their problems.

As part of our 40-year celebrations, we invite our Members to participate in our Community Rewards Programme, offering   R40 000 each to five Community Based Organisations which our Members believe are contributing to building stronger communities through making use of their own assets and resources. Members may nominate organisations in their community who have taken the responsibility of initiating community building activities designed to improve the lives of those around them. 

In order to nominate an organisation in your community, you will need to complete a Nomination Form.

>   The Nomination Form is available at any of our Branches; or

>   By visiting the LegalWise website Community Page.

All nominations must be submitted by 27 February 2025 and the five Community Rewards Programme beneficiaries will be profiled in an upcoming edition of WiseUp.
