YOUR DONATION MATTERS

Every wildfire is a race to protect lives, homes, and the cherished landscapes of the Western Cape.  At VWS, over 350 dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to keep our communities safe, but we can’t do it alone. As a non-profit, we rely entirely on public and corporate donations to fund essential training, equipment, and operations. Your support empowers us to respond swiftly, safeguard lives, and preserve our natural heritage.

Donations to the VWS earn companies and private individuals tax benefits and BEE points. We pride ourselves on good corporate governance and our financial statements are available on request.

Please choose a payment method below and complete the details requested so that we can acknowledge your donation and process your tax certificate.
