Founded by Rachel and Siya Kolisi, the Kolisi Foundation was born out of a deep desire to use their platforms to drive meaningful change. Having witnessed the challenges that many NGOs face on the ground, Rachel and Siya wanted to approach philanthropy differently. Rather than re-invent the wheel, the Kolisi Foundation has chosen to partner with organisations who have a pre-existing footprint in communities. By resourcing these established groups, the Kolisi Foundation amplifies their impact, ensuring that efforts are more sustainable and far-reaching. Through this collaborative approach, the Foundation is committed to changing the stories of inequality and empowering those most in need.

The Kolisi Foundation focuses on three integrated focus areas: Gender-Based Violence, Food Security, and Education & Sport. We believe that no focus area exists in isolation. We focus on these three areas because each one impacts and is influenced by the others. Through our holistic approach, we aim to break cycles of poverty and violence by addressing these interconnected issues, creating a sustainable impact that uplifts communities as a whole. By working on all three areas together, we can drive deeper and more meaningful change.
