The Momentum Metropolitan Volunteerism Report: new research unpacks the state of volunteerism in South Africa

Volunteerism is much needed beacon of light and positivity in South Africa. After a decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, corporate volunteerism is again thriving in the South African private sector 1,2, with many larger companies now having employee volunteering programmes (EVPs). Given the surge of activity in this space, Momentum Metropolitan recently commissioned a comprehensive research study, the Momentum Metropolitan Volunteerism Report, which delved deeper into the post-pandemic state of volunteerism in South Africa.

Driven by Momentum Metropolitan’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI) arm, the research was conducted among its employees, employees from other major corporations and representatives from various local non-profit organisations (NPOs).

Tshego Bokaba, CSI Manager at Momentum Metropolitan, explains that volunteerism is something the corporate actively and formally champions. “While our CSI mandate is centred around youth empowerment and employment, we want to encourage employees to support those causes closest to their hearts – while at the same time uplifting their communities.”
